The historical meaning of Hindu has changed over centuries which as a modern day Hindu is intriguing
I have never been very interested, but I dont know a lot about it
Well originally it just meant people living in the Indian subcontinent but I guess that's not very interesting for you
I am interested in learning more about it
Well whilst originally it just meant people living in the whole subcontinent it progressed into meaning people there who weren't Turkic or Muslims.
that were not muslim? thats interesting, I wonder if it still means the same thing
Well now it just refers to any person who identifies with aspects of Hinduism but I think the historical evolution of the meaning is very interesting.
