Whenever the word Hindu comes up for discussion, at the very outset, it is announced that this word has its origin in the word Sindhu. This statement is taken for granted as an axiom and repeated by all. It is not seen in the public domain that anybody has ever raised any doubt on this explanation. Current explanation has gone ex silentio. Arguments may be put forward to expose many logical loopholes in the present explanation. This book tries to highlight the logical inconsistencies of the present explanation and at the same time tries to provide a more consistent alternative explanation of the origin of the word Hindu that has a traceable root to the core values of this way of life.

Im letzten Moment fliehen sie. Dann brennt ihr Dorf. Es geschieht, was der Hindu plant. Christen werden verprügelt, Kirchen brennen. Indien den Indern. Nationale und religiöse Interessen vermischen sich. Dann werden Tote gefunden, brutal ermordet. Inspektor Chidambaram und sein smarter Sekretär Babu ermitteln im Stammesgebiet entlang der Godavari. Überraschend schließt sich ihnen Kumari an, eine couragierte Christin und ehemalige Verlobte des Inspektors. Der Fall scheint zunächst klar - es geht um religiösen Fanatismus. Ein schillernder Swami heizt die Stimmung gegen Christen an, unterstützt von einem Journalisten. Dann detoniert ein Sprengsatz. Die Lage eskaliert. Was mit der Verfolgung religiöser Minderheiten beginnt, entpuppt sich als brisanter Politkrimi. Leserinnen und Leser dieses Kriminalromans werden nicht nur spannend unterhalten, sondern begegnen der zugleich faszinierenden wie fremden Welt Südindiens. Der Autor hat reale und aktuelle Themen des indischen Subkontinents aufgenommen: Religiöse Auseinandersetzungen zwischen Hindus und Christen, Bedrohung der Lebensräume von Ureinwohnern, Korruption und Vetternwirtschaft, Indien zwischen Tradition und Moderne. Was Sie hier lesen, ist ähnlich bereits geschehen und kann es jederzeit wieder. Nicht nur in Indien. [more]

The Hindu–Arabic numeral system[1] or Hindu numeral system[2] is a positional decimal numeral system, nowadays the most common symbolic representation of numbers in the world. It was invented between the 1st and 4th centuries by Indian mathematicians. The system was adopted, by Persian mathematicians (Al-Khwarizmi's c. 825 book On the Calculation with Hindu Numerals) and Arab mathematicians (Al-Kindi's c. 830 volumes On the Use of the Indian Numerals) by the 9th century. It later spread to the western world by the High Middle Ages. The system is based upon ten (originally nine) different glyphs. The symbols (glyphs) used to represent the system are in principle independent of the system itself. The glyphs in actual use are descended from Indian Brahmi numerals and have split into various typographical variants since the Middle Ages. [more]

It has been observed in the previous book titled ‘Origin of Hindu √ The Name’, that the dictum of going, moving forward, became the central tenet of a huge number of human beings, who essentially were the residents of India. Those people were termed as Hindu. Even when the root of this concept is logically proven, then also a question crops up and remains unanswered. Why the act of going, moving forward, became so important that a large number of people needed to accept it as the guiding principle of their lives? No tangible evidence has been found of any coercive actions from the part of the propagators of this way of life, not even in the folklores or in the legends. The adherence in all probability was voluntary and self-imposed. For this happening, two broad categories of influences may be credited to: physical and/or cerebral. Physical environment of the land in reference was set by the actions and interactions of the geological forces. Cerebral input must have come from some knowledge base. Structured and recorded knowledge base that is unique to India is found in the Vedas and its annotations. The period by when the geological timeline shows that this land was becoming ready for human inhabitation that was the time around which the trace of oldest literatures of this land may be found. A little later, out of nowhere the world came to know about the existence of a human settlement that was more splendorous than anything known to the Greeks, the best ones in the known world up to that time. This book finds the relationship between the geological formation of the Ganga Plain and the propagation of a new way of life that would be known as ‘Hindu’ religion in later time. It has been established that the word ‘Arya’ is a Sanskrit word that means ‘the son of the Rishi’ and no large human movement that may be termed as invasion, migration etc. needed to be introduced to explain what have happened in this land during that time period.
