Bangalore: Moily sparks row, says 'Hindu' word introduced by Muslims


Daijiworld Media Network - Bangalore (RJP)

Bangalore, Sep 22: Former Karnataka chief minister M Veerappa Moily has kicked off a controversy or at least a debate by saying that the word 'Hindu' is not Indian, but introduced by Muslims.

Speaking at a book launching function at Central College in Bangalore on Sunday September 21, Moily said that the word Hindu was introduced by the Muslims in the medieval age.

He said, "The word Hindu was invented by the Muslims. They wanted to separate people living in India from them. They called us Hindus. There is no mention of the word Hindu in Vedas, Upanishads or any other Indian books."

He also said that the Indians were the first to denounce caste system but unfortunately because of the selfishness of the people, caste system has still remained in India. He felt that caste system should have been abolished when the Constitution was introduced. He urged that it should be abolished immediately with the introduction of new laws.

Former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda disagreed with Moily saying that he should not raise such issues from the ancient and medieval age.

Sri Rama Sene chief Pramod Muthalik condemned Moily's statement.

    Veerappa Moily is from a backward class. The community are temple musicians. During Indira Gandhi's time in 1960's my father and the south kanara congress president who was also an MP, A. Shankar Alva as per the push to promote backward communities, elected to give Moily a ticket. The plus point with Moily was that he was a lawyer and he used to ride a cycle in a village that was controlled by Bunts and Jains. A. Shankar Alva the man that he was could not be swayed by any amount of pressure to give the ticket to his community as he believed in Merit. My father too sided with Alva as they were too 'Gandhian' as some would say despite the Huge amount of power they had over South Canara. These are the men who worked alongside with U.S. Mallya, K.S. Rao and being the senior most lawyers of Mangalore court/district. They left the world with neither of them owning a house, car or property.
    Veerappa Moily ended up having a great career and has become the man he is. He is an intellectual, without a doubt. His views like any others are debatable. However, it will take someone who has done a lot of research and reading that can go after him.

    Since now everyone understands the term Hindu being a geological context and Hinduism the culture or Dharma of these Hindus. Then why do the Muslims and Christians have a problem being called a Hindu. I do agree that we cannot call your belief Hindu as you are by right a Christian or Muslim. In any case, it is you folks who bring this up each time someone says that we are all Hindu's. Why do you default it to a culture can't you default it to the geological context. Please note here that I as a Sanathana Dharmi would not want to term you guys Hindus, there is no love here. It is just that you folks hate to be called a Hindu but you don't mind naming your children Spanish / Portuguese / Arab/ Jewish names. It is amazing that your loyalty lies in your white masters who sponsored / converted you. I attended a meeting with a number of Indian Christians and American Christians where the Indians were as usual acting more Christian than the rest of the folks there until someone asked them if they migrated to India ie if their DNA was not ethnic to India. That sucked the blood right out of the Spanish named Indian Mangalorian Christians. The white's don't care about religion as soon as they see that your skin is brown or black. They understand color , religion they all know is to control these colored race and not for them. They care little if you are Indian or Mexican

    MR.simon A,
    hindu civilization is one of the oldest civiliztion is the world. back then it was well advanced in cultivation, trading and even education. uncivilized or nomads were in the isreal range. they were uncivilized back dn n right nw even worst then nomads.
    yes hindu word referred more as geographical dn religion back then. but now it is a religion. Hinduism has contributed a lot to the world till date. yoga, ayurveda, astrology, vedic mathematics, spirituality etc.
    those days NOMADS living in deserts of gulf n Israel never had any knowledge other then hunting, eating and reproducing.
    Mr. Moily is not aware of this own religious ethic. out of his mind n out of politics.

    Sandrokottus aka Androcottus aka Chandragupta Maurya (CGM) was never a persian commander. In 326 BC timeline that you pointed out, CGM was about 25 years old ( 340BC being his birth ). It was a time when Alexandro da magnifico decided to abort his Indian invasion pretty much due to mutinies in his army. They were tired of of their overambitious leader.
    Seleucus nikator was the satrap of babylon after Alexander, was attacked by CGM and he took over Bactri ( punjab to Afghanistan) . Eventually, Seleucus signed a treaty with CGM and got some elephants in return to protect his western boarders. Alexander married Seleucus daughter Helena as part of the treaty as well. However , Bindusara and Emperor Ashoka are descendants of CGM through his Indian wife.

    where did you get the point that he was a Persian commander ?.
    Regarding Porus war and his defeat is accurate.
    I think the priest has good information about history.

    Shri Veerappa Moily is correct almost according to the history or our purana because before becoming as India we had more than 600 small Kingdoms here and in such a situation foreigners started to come to India ( that time there was no India ) someone by land and
    someone thru sea and those who came thru land put some names as
    Hindu ( thru Hidukush Range in Afghanistan,they called the inhabitants of that area Hindu,means nomad or uncivilized )
    Ans even Arabs came to India also
    given the name Hindi ( al Hindi means Indian) and being these are the fact why should people arguing or blaming each other ?? Instead of that try to understand the historical fact about all these controversial matter.Because of historical unawareness is the only reason of this kind of arguments arising...

    The word Hindu is derived (through Persian) from the Sanskrit word Sindhu, the historic local name for the Indus River in the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent (modern day Pakistan and Northern India).[2][a] According to Gavin Flood, "The actual term Hindu first occurs as a Persian geographical term for the people who lived beyond the river Indus (Sanskrit: Sindhu)".[2] The term Hindu then was a geographical term and did not refer to a religion.[b]

    Kuldesh,

    You have got history completey messed up. I cant really get what are you saying. Persians landed in India in 14th cantury??? Really???
    Persians(Achaemenid Empire (550–330 BC) ruled one of the biggest empires from western india to egypt. And the whole empire fell to Alexander when he defeated Darius of Persia. So then, the satraps in the eastern region (including one ruled by Porus (Puroshottam) )d their own rule. Then Alexander had to do was all the Satraps under control.
    Chandra Gupta Maurya did not have an kingdom at the time. After Alexander defeated Porus he gave the kingdom back to him. And later he wanted to continue his conquest into India, but the Indian Kingdom of Nanda dynasty had raised a huge army. And also to avoid mutiny in his own army he had no choice but to turn back.
    And the other thing is that.. you give some vague dates... like you know the history from 20000 years ... where is the proof. We have the history from around 3000BC with Indus valley civilization. So please do give the source of your history.

    QUOTE

    "The Maurya Empire was a geographically extensive Iron Age historical power in ancient India, ruled by the Maurya dynasty from 322 – 185 BCE. Originating from the kingdom of Magadha in the Indo-Gangetic plains (modern Bihar, eastern Uttar Pradesh) in the eastern side of the Indian subcontinent, the empire had its capital city at Pataliputra (modern Patna).[1][2] The Empire was founded in 322 BCE by Chandragupta Maurya, who had overthrown the Nanda Dynasty and rapidly expanded his power westwards across central and western India, taking advantage of the disruptions of local powers in the wake of the withdrawal westward by Alexander's Greek armies. By 316 BCE the empire had fully occupied Northwestern India, defeating and conquering the satraps left by Alexander.[3] Chandragupta then defeated the invasion led by Seleucus I, a Greek general from Alexander's army, gaining additional territory west of the Indus River.[4]"
    UNQUOTE

    this means chandragupta maurya was already a ruler of magadha dynasty and defeated nanda dynasty and took the large portions of west india when alexander retreated to west.

    The word "HINDU"was originally a persian geographical term for the region beyond the Sindhu river,the Arabs called it Al-Hind.Later was adopted by the Turks and Europeans as Hindu.According to Rig veda(4-138) Sanatana Dharma"the Eternal Law" or the "Eternal way" which all people have to follow with tenet of Honesty,Purity and self restraint.This according to many Saints and experts is a more appropriate term for the great old relegion.

    mr zeitgist,if we check all the maps of india including chandragupta mauryas magadha dynasty
    and mughal rule(mughals could not capture great maratha shivajis empire)
    all of india was under them except kerala(erstwile travancore) and central and south madras.do you know why?

    they were expert in elephant warfare.thier armies including soldiers would fight from the top of elephants.horses were negligible in thier army.
    thats why all
    other knigs used to fear them and dare not to fight aginst them.the only other army which used to have large scale elephants
    was king porus(purshottam of pururava dynasty).porus is a corrupted form of his real name given by british.

    alexander was a great warrior who ruled entire europe and me.but capturing india became difficult for him because
    he has travelled too far from europe covering thousands of miles and his forces were short of food and tired.
    another is he or his army did not knew how to fight against soldiers atop elephants.his soldiers were too tired to reach europe
    that many settled in gandhaara that is present afghanistan.dna of afghanis match with euopeans.that has been proved.alexander also
    could not reach europe and died enroute.his grave is in egypt.

    if you want to know about chandra gupta maryas huge empire
    you will get informtion in wikipedia.check the map given there and also vast swathes of land he ruled.
    thanks.

    Kuldesh,

    You need to study history from a really good source.
    Alexander defeated Porus. That that’s the fact. There are written accounts of the same. And if you simulate the battle tactics of the same today, Alexander would win. Please do remember that Alexander was a great commander.
    Chandragupta (Sandokuttos) was a general in Persian army and not the king who ruled India when Alexander came to India. Actually Alexander never set foot in actual India if you take into account of modern political border.
    And regarding Chandragupta Maurya having 9000 elephant and 300000 horses is just ridiculous. He would have a very tough time feeding them. I always read someone claiming that a x king had x number of army without taking into account the requirement to maintain such a army.

    persians from the other side of bharathvarsh used to refer the people of other side of the river sindhu as hindu.in persian language instead of 'S' they use'H' for all purpose.in the mean time, as muslim rulers settled in india they called the people as hindu.actually they want to call 'sindhus.but they called hindus because of thier language.

    but hindus(so called) are sanaathana dharmis who follow sanatana dharma which is the first organised religion in the world.

    we dont care who call us what bcoz we are sanatana dhamis and no can change that.

    This is the way, how BJP brain washes the innocent people. They always project Congress as enemy of Hindu religion. But the truth is, each and every relgion lives happily without any communal tensions, during Congress rule.

    I don't know how BJP forgets, 70 percent of Congressmen are Hindus!!!

    sanaathana dharma which is called hinduism today is the oldest and first religion which has given 4 vedas which westerners are now realising the importance of it when it comes to space science and quantum science.

    the first space scientist of this world was aryabhata,first surgeon of this world shushruta.the first relegion which gave the world the spiritual knowlege.

    the nuclear and the scalar technology concepts which are used in nukes today are also given detailed in vimaana shastra

    others refering to sanathana dharma which is called hinduism todayis like

    He(mOILy) is passing insensitive comments...

    What he says is half truth....true, Arabs call all Indians irrespective of religion including Indian muslims as Hindi and India as Hind.

    Now this is not arab invented word...Hind means river Indus..for middle easteners any thing beyond Indus river is Hind and people living there Hindi and area Hind..

    Please note when an arab say Hindi it means Indian not language Hindi...

    This fellow as usual speaking with half knowledge....I have serious doubts he wrote Ramayana Darshana or somebody else ghost wrote for him....

    Religion(VARNA BEDHA) is not invented by Dongi Congi, it was historical truth mentioned in veda's & in existence and practiced by Hindu's for ages.., In fact the Mogul's & Britishers exploited very well to rule Hindustan for couple of centuries.

    I really pity on the limited knowledge of Mr Moily who is oily when comes to controversy... Arabs called people of Indian subcontinent as the people of river hind...a name in Arabic for Indus..from the word indus the term India was born in English and in the same way the word Hindi was born from the word Hind (Indus) so Hind and Indus are same river and India and Hindi are the same geographical part of the globe.. Arabs(muslims) called the inhabitants of Hind (India) as Hindi and not as Hindu... Later the word hindu was promoted in its theological perspective by the priestly class of India to differentiate their religion with that of the rest of the world.. The true ancient Vedic religion of India is sanathan dharma or shashwat dharma which means dharma of one and true God .. which is the preaching of Islam...but priestly class projected a perverted picture of their dharma to the dravidians and promoted it to safe guard their selfish interest... I am a hindi but not a hindu.. I am a hindi muslim and not a hindu muslim as per Oilys statement.

    Dear Mr. Kuldesh, I am happy to hear that you are also an ardent lover of ancient History of our beloved Land. But long ago before Porus, the Persians were the masters of the Indus Land and this can not be denied and Porus may have been an independent king during his tenure.In the War, Porus was never defeated, he must have lost a battle but not the war. He was however not vanished and at the same time we can never accept that Alexander had clearly won. Though Chandra Gupta Maurya pleaded him to vanquish Dhanannanda of the Nanda Dynasty. Alexander had the taste of real Indian Valour at the hands of Porus. BUt the real reason of his departure was the battle-weariness of his troops. He wanted to conquer India but his Army and Commanders dissuaded him. There was a near revolt in the rank and file. Alexander returned back in haste, was fatally ill and in the same year died.So JAI HIND or JAI SINDH

    Gandhara/Taxila in Punjab was conquered by Achaemenid empire in 518 BC.During this time, Pushkarasakti, a contemporary of King Bimbisara (558–491 BC) of Magadha empire of Haryanka dynasty, was the king of Gandhara. Pushkarasakti was engaged in power struggles against his local rivals. The Persian chieftain Achaemenids under Darius penetrated to the region in 516 BC, and annexed other parts of Punjab west to Indus river and Sindh.
    You are speaking about Prithviraj Chauhan. He ruled (1149–1192 AD). The Persians under Darius were not Muslims. Kindly find out their Religion. During the time of Porus, the might of Persians got diminished and Alexander conquered the region and came face to face with Porus.

    persians from the other side of bharathvarsh used to refer the people of other side of the river sindhu as hindu.in persian language instead of 'S' they use'H' for all purpose.in the mean time, as muslim rulers settled in india they called the people as hindu.actually they want to call 'sindhus.but they called hindus because of thier language.

    but hindus(so called) are sanaathana dharmis who follow sanatana dharma which is the first organised religion in the world.

    we dont care who call us what bcoz we are sanatana dhamis and no can change that.

One day you may say that, Hindus are named by Muslims so born to Muslims. what happened to the so called Indian intellectuals. Shame on us to forgot the Ethics. You say it is not mentioned in veda then what is 'SANAATHANA DHARMA'. In vedic period there was only one religion (believers) that is why it is not mentioned in Vedas.

Arabs still calls us here as Hindi/Hindustani. But for those who calls all Indians are Hindus they themselves contracdicts if a muslim marries a hindu calls it as love jihad then how all Indians becomes Hindus, if we agree that all indians are Hindu's the issue of Love Jihad should not raise as Hindu marry's a Hindu then what jihad it will be.

    Sanatana Dharma is the real name of Hinduism. As the name itself says Sanatana Dharma is "Eternal Religion".
    It is not a religion in the way other religions are. Simply speaking, it is a way of life - A scientific way of life.

    No one can wipe out the truth. Sanatana Dharma is eternal truth. This eternal truth can not be destroyed. It had no beginning like the other religions. It was there even during the time that science of today can't trace. Such invasions can't root out the religion that has the eternal foundation.

    It could be also as follows:

    WE plus RAPPA is VEERAPPA means, WE have to hit him RAPPA RAPPA on his face fir his utter nonsense.... and can be called as Karma Dharaya Samaasa..!!!

    1) Why did 216 seats become 44?
    2) Why did CHOR Congress win only Amethi & Rae Bareilly in UP?
    3) Why were you not able to counter Modi wave (First yousaid 'THERE IS NO WAVE, but later did not know what HIT YOU')
    4) Please refrain from blind supporting CHOR party, you are looking like a NAKED FOOL!!

    And you're not qualified to lecture on Hinduism, leave that aside...

    One we cannot ignore him as he is an elected member, two he has stuck to his so called secular party and still is irrespective of its ups and downs. And again I hope it is not a political rally, as he is a writer himself and rights books, his knowledge on that front is unquestionable.

    As I read some article and from few scholars that the word 'Hindu' is used by the merchant Arabs to identify people living in the Indus valley who majority speaks Hindi.
    There is no head and tail in Moily statement.

    “ Hind” is ARABIC word derived from “ Sind”……When Arabic invaders first invaded Kingdom of Hindu King “ Dahir ( Todays Pakistan – Bay of Debal / Sindh Province of Pakistan )
    They called native people “ Hindu “ that means People of Indus Valley ( River Sindhu Valley ).

    Invaded Arabs saw Indian Spice fruit “ Imbli ( Huli in Kannada ) They called it “ Tamar –e – Hind .and became “ Tamarind “ ( Indian Dates )
    ( Tamar ( Khajoor ) means “ Dates “ in Arabic ) ….

    In Holy scripture there is No word of Hindu……But our mother country called “ Bharatha Kanda “….and word “ Bharath “ derived from same

    I not only pressed Agree but thought of posting this reply. Mr. Lobo is reflecting the correct interpretation of the origin of word Hindu. Moily probably was referring to this with or without full knowledge of the same. There need not be a ruckus about it.

    It is true that there is no word called Hindu in Vedas or any religious books. Hindu word does not denote any religion but "way of life." The descendants of Indus valley civilization, then were called so to separate out. And again statements can twisted and taken out of context and issues can be created.

    The word Hindu is derived from Sanskrit word Sindhu through Persian Language !! That time Persians were not Muslims they were following 'Zoroastrianism' !! So Moily is 100 percent wrong !!
