India is a rich land which has attracted invaders
from Central Europe and Asia who left their imprint
on this land, its religions and its lifestyles over
40 centuries. The Greeks , under Al-exander the great,
travelled as far down as the lower Indus River which
they mis pronounced as the "Hindu River"
Consequently, all the various in vaders, with their
conflicting faiths, who inhabited the land of the
Indus River were called Hindus and their land, Hindustan.
It was shortened to "HIND", then "IND"
and finally INDIA.
Festivals in India are determined by the Solar &
