In Persian, the word Hindu is rooted from the word Sindhu (Sanskrit). In Reg Veda, the Aryans called their territory as Sapta Sindhu (the land of the seven rivers in the southwest of the subcontinent, in which one of the river Indus). This was approached with the word-Hendu Hapta contained in the Zend Avesta (Vendidad: 1:18 Fargard) - from the Zoroastrian sacred literature in Iran. At first the word Hindu refers to the people who live in the area of the river Sindhu.
