Claim: The old Oxford Dictionary mentioned the meaning of the word Indian as Old-fashioned people, criminals, and stupid people.
Fact-check: The Old Oxford Dictionary did not define people of India as 'Old-fashioned people, criminals, and stupid.' - FACTLY
Verdict: the word india was not found on page number 789 in the oxford dictionary of the year 1934. however, page 580 defines the term india as a country of south asia east of the river indus and south of the himalayas. the word india in fact is derived from the name of an ancient river indus or sindhu in sanskrit and was mentioned in greek and roman writings. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
