You fool the faraway Europeans never had a true sense of the location of Hind ie that is why you have anomalies such as West Indies, the folks who named it Hind ie Arabs, Persian etc had a very good idea....Coterminous Pakistan, not the swamp forest that was the Ganga...Now log off in shame as this has been discussed a trillion and one times yet for the sake of trolling you cannot help yourself.....Pakistani bloggers do not take his/her bait!
Hardly! And for the highlighted, you only fool your PDFians here and your public at large ---> and you have TLP as a result!
And yes, it has been discussed a zillion times. Other than Pakistanis of PDF who are busy re-writing history in the classic example to illustrate a need to identify themselves as a nation, multiple texts and historical records do exist.
Did tell the member that he was more than welcome to discuss China and India as entities. Have more than enough time after January to do the same. He will be hard pressed to define China as a nation then, which, by the ways, illegally occupied Tibet in violation of the treaty signed by itself in 821/823 AD and Sinkiang in 1949 claiming some re-written history of 'reunification' after Qing annexation.
You see, the duplicity of every Pakistani member here is exemplified by the guttural language (s)he resorts to after the first quote. The underlying deficiency of knowledge base, inability to sustain the tenability of false premises and the pure inability to state facts without exhibiting the ignoramus nature, is the cause. The classic bait, which, incidentally, is against the laws of the forum. Heck, laws?
The name originates from the common indo-European languages of which, as you are aware, Greek, Avestan and Sanskrit, to name a few, a derivatives.
Example:
Ghia - Bottle Gourd: is same word in contemporary Russian Language and in Hindi. Same with Ananas - Pineapple. Incidentally, am fluent with Russian (having studied it as a language) and Latin, so when people post nonsense here with pretentious authority, I do, at times, intervene. As for my English ....
Due to the inherent commonality of origins of languages, and influences due to centuries of trade and migration, the names have been fixed. To claim some bullshit and misrepresent it to 'score brownie points' is something that this site was never about. I have never hesitated from calling out bullshit when being spewed, irrespective of the flags. Unlike overwhelming majority here.
Shame on you my dear sir. It is rather an unpleasant to note that you intervene here, writing what you did. I deal in facts. Maybe, you should do too.
