They pronounced as "Indu" or "Hindu".That's how the Sindhu river got it's other name as "Indus" and "India".Although India is popularly used as the name of the country, but we also have two other names for India in Hindi language as "Hindustan" or "Bharat".

      If anyone didn't notice, many of them knew the location they would find India on a standard American view global map, where the US is in the top left. When China is put in the middle of the map (as it is in China, India, all of Asia, Australia etc) they have no clue where to find any country.
      It's like memorising a childrens book instead of learning to read - will get a good score on a test, but is useless in the real world & a sign of a poor education.

    Actually when the Persians came to India long before, they couldn't pronounce "Sindhu" also known as "Indus" now, where they settled. They pronounced as "Indu" or "Hindu".That's how the Sindhu river got it's other name as "Indus" and India. Although India name is popularly used as the name of the country, but we also have two other names for India in Hindi language as "Hindustan" or "Bharat".
    India got its name long before Buddha or Christ or Mohammed. During the stone age times, while America was discovered in 1492. He discovered South America to be exact. He was Portuguese & he came with Spanish people, therefore the languages remained eminant there.The trade route to India was blocked by British as the three countries wanted to set their foot in India so he figured to take the other way as Earth is round & he can probably get to India by other route.Portuguese first came to India for Spices & tea leaves.Then came French and then the British. By the time French came West Indies was already discovered,so they named their company French East India Company and British East India Company.

    Fun fact: The Dutch were looking for India back then during the 1700s and the ended up in Indonesia. The land still had spices so the Dutch just went with it. They called the Indonesian land (or the people) the "Dutch Indies" back then and they named the sea the "Indian Ocean" (if I'm not mistaken). Soekarno and Hatta eventually gave Indonesia their independence in 17 August 1945 and renamed their country "Indonesia".

      @Feanorlike 4 роки тому +1

      Brem ok he never landed on north america, vikings did and you can see that it doesn’t change a thing, there is not a previking America but there is a precolumbian america, Columbus made all europe aware that there was something ripe for taking in the west so he could even have discovered only the Barbados the feat is the same, he was the first european to have the balls to navigate on unknown seas with almost unknown winds and with almost unknown stars movement and precession, so it doesn’t matter where you land but the fact that he had the balls to stay 3 months in the sea and exploit them to arrive somewhere instead of just dying there, and believe me if you read about his voyages you will see that you can’t just put anyone in his role, doing 2nd and third travels after you know the path or are certain that there is a continent after X miles is a completely different job than moving on completely unknown waters and for that you need the best sailors who know the rules of navigation to find the path without a map and only with stars that move while you navigate for thousands of miles on the surface of the earth

      @@Feanorlike He wasn't the only one with the balls, he was the only one with the money behind him.
      He didn't make anyone aware that there was anything for the taking, he just made people more aware of the possibility of something else out there. If those small islands were there, perhaps something bigger was.
      You can't put anyone in his role but there were dozens of European captains who made the same voyages out into uncharted waters in the following years using unknown winds. Caboto, Lavrador, Ponce de Leon to name a few. They all did the same thing sailing uncharted waters through unknown winds towards unknown destinations. They didn't sail the same voyages again, they sailed their own to different places discovering the north and south continents and navigating through the Keys to the gulf and first setting foot on what is now the USA. They did the same as what Columbus did not knowing if anything else was out there or not.

      ​@Kurt Rustle Kimmel is wrong in saying Columbus thought he was in India. He thought he was somewhere in China. India was just a name Europeans used for the far east. It basically meant asia for Columbus. But he did die thinking he had arrived to asia, not to a new continent.
