Who is Hindu?

Hindu is the common term used for people who live on the eastern side of Indus River in the indigenous language the Indus river is called 'Sindhu', people who used to live on the western side of the same river calls 'Hindu' as they can't spell 'Sindhu' to the eastern side residents. Since ancient times Hindus believe that the region belonging to them stretches from the Indus River to the Brahmaputra River and from the Himalayan mountain ranges to the Indian Ocean. Since Ancient times they believe in the philosophy of "Sarva Dharma Sambhava" which means the path of all beliefs is to achieve happiness and bliss as air, water, earth, sky, fire don't expect anything, they flow in their path. we should also follow our path our effort 'Karma' that is called 'Dharma' and all beings on Earth are the same except wrongdoer ones.
