message: This religion is called as Sanatana Dharma, "eternal religion," and Vaidika Dharma, "religion of the Vedas," and Hinduism  the most commonly used name in the World. 
Various origins for the word "Hinduism"  have been suggested: 
It may be derived from an ancient inscription translated as: "The country lying between the Himalayan mountain and Bindu Sarovara is known as Hindusthan by combination of the first letter 'hi' of 'Himalaya' and the last compound letter 'ndu' of the word `Bindu.'" Bindu Sarovara is called the Cape Comorin sea in modern times.
It may be derived from the Persian word for Indian. 
It may be a Persian corruption of the word Sindhu (the river Indus)
It was a name invented by the British administration in India during colonial times.
:Is it accurate to call Hinduism a religion or Sanatana Dharma as "eternal religion"? I ask this because the word Dharma can mean "weight" or "inertia" or "nature"  or "duty" or "faith" — meaning it refers to the nature of any object in the universe. Thus the word Dharma when applied to humans simply means 'that which is a person's duty or faith, as specified in the scriptures'. So basically the scriptures dictate a person's Dharma, but the word Dharma itself doesn't mean religion.

message: I'm editing on the vegetarian pages and am in a dispute with other editors over globalizing the page.  I say over 70% of world's vegetarians are indian/hindu and their view should be included. They argue that vegetarianism is a british word, coined by the brit veg society and should reflect eurocentric viewpoint, with india noted as an exception. I would like to request some more Indian/hindu participation to balance the argument. This may be just my version and I'd ask that you read the discussion to get the whole picture.--Pranathi 15:27, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Just saw this message. The dispute is settled on the vegetarian pages. Jains are 8 to 10 million in all and are most similar to Hindus in their vegetarian habits. Among Buddhists, I believe mostly only monks don't eat meat. Among monks many, such as Tibetan Buddhist monks, traditionally eat meat. 20-30% of Indian population is vegetarian - approx 200 - 300 million and is the largest vegetarian group. --Pranathi 02:49, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

text: sadly, this article is very, very, far from being encyclopedic or even factual. It's a sermon. An eulogy. I made a few edits, but they do very little. The Vedas don't condone discrimination? Varna has nothing to do with skin color? I believe that many Hindus believe so (and this may of course be asserted), but that's just because most Hindus have never actually read the vedas, or if they have, they didn't bother to translate. The Rigveda, for example (9.73.5) talks about the blowing away with supernatural might from earth and from the heavens the swarthy skin which Indra hates. dab (ᛏ) 17:30, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

text: I refer you to my statements on the talkpage of the Witzel article. Far from removing "all critical links", I would welcome notable critical references. References critical of Witzels academic work need to be academic. References critical of Witzel's political activism need to be from a reputable news outlet. Wikipedia will not link to rants on blogs and discussion fora. I have done my best to sort the links presented, and unfortunately most of them were pathetic, attacking red herrings rather than Witzel. I did not remove the "Politics" section, and I do think that Witzel's political activities, and the apparent unanimous hatred of Witzel on the part of the Californian Hindu community should be documented, neutrally. It is not permissible to pretend attacking Witzel on scholarly turf because you don't like his political views. Scholarly discussion takes place in relevant journals, and if Witzel is really as bad as all these bloggers think, it should be easy to point us to devastating academic recensions of his work. dab (ᛏ) 20:21, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
