The Greeks most certainly did not use the terms Hind or Sind; the Persians used the word Hindustan or Hindu
You're a retard who believes in revisionist history, forever living in your own fantasy world.
The name derives ultimately from Sanskrit Sindhu (सिन्धु), which was the name of the Indus River as well as the lower Indus basin (modern Sindh, in Pakistan).[5][6] The Old Persian equivalent of Síndhu was Hindu.[7] Darius I conquered Sindh in about 516 BCE, upon which the Persian equivalent Hinduš was used for the province at the lower Indus basin.[8][9] Skylax of Karyanda who explored the Indus river for the Persian emperor probably took over the Persian name and passed it into Greek.[10] The terms Indos (Ἰνδός) for the Indus river as well as "an Indian" are found in Herodotus's Geography.

For example, Khalifa Umar ibn Khattab (RA) was killed by a Persian traitor who pretended to be a Muslim so he could assassinate him since Puuuursians have long been losers who can't fight and really are not a fighting, warrior nation
That 'persian traitor' was actually a Persian who was captured and enslaved by the arabs during their war against Persia Sassanid.
That 'traitor' is still revered by fellow persians as a war hero for killing the caliph who invaded Persia and killed many persians in the name of his mohammedan religion.
There's a shrine in iran today, hundreds of years old, to commemorate his slaying of the tyrant moslem king who enslaved the Persians.
The Shrine of Abu Lu'lu'a is a mausoleum built over what is popularly believed to be the final resting place of Abu Lu'lu'a Firuz, a Persian slave who assassinated the second Islamic caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab in 644 CE.[2] The structure was built by the Ilkhanid Mongols,[1][better source needed] and is located in Kashan, Isfahan Province, Iran.[3]
During the 16th-century Safavid conversion of Iran to Shia Islam, a festival started to be celebrated in honor of Abu Lu'lu'a, commemorating his assassination of Umar ibn al-Khattab.[6] Named Omar-koshan (lit. 'the killing of Umar'), it was originally held around Abu Lu'lu'a's sanctuary in Kashan, each year at the anniversary of Umar's death (26 Dhu al-Hijja of the Islamic year).[7] However, later it also started to be celebrated elsewhere in Iran, sometimes on 9 Rabi' al-Awwal rather than on 26 Dhu al-Hijja.[8] The festival celebrated Abu Lu'lu'a, nicknamed for the occasion Bābā Shujāʿ al-Dīn (lit. 'Father Courageous of the Faith'), as a national hero who had defended the religion by killing the oppressive caliph.[9]
Due to political sensitivities, from the Qajar period (1789–1925) onward the festival gradually stopped being celebrated in the major cities of Iran, until it was eventually banned officially by the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979.[10] Nevertheless, the festival itself is still celebrated in Iran, though often secretly and indoors rather than outdoors.[11] It is now held on the 9th day of the month of Rabi' Al-Awwal of the Islamic year, lasting until the 27th of the same month.[12]
