As per the Bible , Hodu was the name of land where Indus flows . Its ruler was Ahasuerus .

Bibilical Hodu
has its origin in Persian Hindu and Sanskrit Sindhu . So Pakistan is none other than Hodu or in other words Sindh . Its past is entirely Hindu . Once a glorious land has lost itself to its false ego .

My question to Pakistanis is , What Quran says about this Holy Land ? Why you hate your Glorious past ?

( The Hebrew word for turkey is tarnegol hoduתרנגול הודו - often shortened to hoduהודו. Hodu is the Biblical word for India, and therefore tarnegol hodu means "Indian chicken". This is the name for the bird in many European languages - Russian indiuk, Polish indyk, French dinde and Yiddish indik. Even in Turkey they call the bird hindi. Of course, the bird originated in North America; so why the association with Turkey or India?

The English name "turkey" comes from an incorrect identification of the bird with an African guinea-fowl, which entered Europe through Turkey. The connection to India was due to another misunderstanding - as is well known, the first Europeans who reached the Western Hemisphere thought they were in India (hence the name Indians for the native peoples.)

As I mentioned earlier, Hodu is the Biblical name for India, appearing once, in the first verse of Esther. The name derives from the Persian word Hindu, but as often happens, the nun dropped out in Hebrew. The area called Hodu actually refers to the regions near the Indus river (actually in today's Pakistan, not India), from where it gets its name. The river and the region are known in Sanskrit as Sind, but the Persian "h" is cognate with the Sanskrit "s".

An interesting coincidence is that we eat turkey on Thanksgiving, and a common biblical Hebrew term for "Give thanks!" is hodu. We see that phrase often in Tehilim (Psalms), and a related verse in Divrei HaYamim I (16:8) starts the Pesukei D'Zimra section of the morning prayers (for Nusach Sefard and Edot HaMizrach). Because of this, people will often mark the schedule by the start of "hodu".

If my calculations are correct , Parts of Pakistan like ( Punjab and Sindh ) and Parts of India like ( Punjab , Haryana , HP , Western UP , Delhi , Rajasthan , Gujarat , Uttarakhand ) is the land of AL Hind :toast_sign:

India is named after Indus but no Indus in India :P

Indus flows from Himalayas :p:
Hindu Kush is in Pakistan and Afghanistan :o: Irony of the Ironies :D

What glorious past are you referring to?

When you were the Center of Civilization ^_^ . Your Glory was greater than those of Arabs , Egyptians , Greeks and Mesopotamian's .

Civilizations, empires come and go and so do people in living in those regions change with time. You have to change with time too.

Why did the Italians and Greeks join the EU when they were great civilizations in to themselves.
And no we don't disown our Indus valley heritage.
