| | Talk:Hindu Kush - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The word hindu itself in its proper usage demarcating ethnicity would in ancient times mean 1) inhabitants of the Indus Valley only 2) in medeival times as those from the subcontinent who were neither muslim nor buddhist. | | | The inhabitants around he indu Kush region were animists, zoroastarian, or buddhists mostly, except for the eastern region which was ruled by a Hindu Shahi dynasty (which again does not mean it was of Indian origin if the word "indian" is used in the modern sense). | | | Kush is also referred to in Jewish texts. |

| | Hindu Kush - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | It should be noted that the word Hindu originally referred to any inhabitant of the Indian subcontinent, or Hind, not followers of the religion as it does now. | | | The Hindu Kush, Hindū Kūsh, Hindoo Koosh or Hindukush (هندوکش in Persian) is a mountain range in Afghanistan as well as in Balawaristan (Northern Areas of Pakistan). | | | In modern Persian, the word "Kush" is derived from the verb Kushtan - to defeat, kill, or subdue. |

| | Hindu Kush means Hindu Slaughter |
| | It is evident that Hindus from ancient India's (Hindustan's) border states such as Gandhaar and Vaahic Pradesh were massacred or taken as slaves by the Moslem invaders who named the region as Hindu Kush (or Hindu Slaughter,or Hindu Killer) to teach a lesson to the future Hindu generations of India. | | | This policy of negationism is the cause behind the ignorance of Hindus about the Hindu Kush and the Hindu genocide. | | | The name 'Hindu Kush' itself tells us about the fate of the original residents of Gandhaar and Vaahic Pradesh during the later period of Moslem conquests, because HINDU KUSH in Persian MEANS HINDU SLAUGHTER (13) (as per Koenraad Elst in his book 'Ayodhya and After'). |

| | The tractate of Megillah, it is true, like the rest of the Talmud, was redacted some 600 years earlier, in the sixth century C.E., but its reference to India and "Kush" being "next to each other" could well indicate that there, too, "Kush" is identified with the Hindu Kush. | | | There is one important fact that we have forgotten to mention so far, namely that medieval and earlier geographers tended consistently to conflate Ethiopia with India — or rather, to think of them as part of a single land mass stretching from the upper Nile to China. | | | Possibly, therefore, the statement in Megillah that "Kush" is next to India actually does refer to Ethiopia. |
