My country was known as Hindustan but after it became secular it became INDIA

There is a river originally called sindhu.. by the persians it was called hindu by the greeks it was called indos and then in latin it was called indus and from there we get india..

It is still called Hindustan (got name from native religion Hindu, or vice versa) and Bharat in Hindi
