Here’s a little known fact...

All Standard reference books agree that the name ‘Hindu Kush’ of the mountain range in Eastern Afganistan means ‘Hindu Slaughter’ or ‘Hindu Killer’. History also reveals that until 1000 A.D. the area of Hindu Kush was a full part of Hindu cradle. More likely, the mountain range was deliberately named as ‘Hindu Slaughter’ by the Moslem conquerors, as a lesson to the future generations of Indians. However Indians in general, and Hindus in particular are completely oblivious to this tragic genocide.

‘Hindu Kush’ of the mountain range in Eastern Afganistan means ‘Hindu Slaughter’ or ‘Hindu Killer’

Interesting. I knew virtually nothing of Indian history until this summer when I took a 6 hour taxi tour of New Delhi with a very talkative driver. India is mostly Hindu, but was conquered by Muslims a millennium, or so ago. It and stayed under Muslim control until the British drove them out. It's still mostly Hindu (70% or so) but has a large Muslim minority. The Indian antiquities I mostly herd about (Taj Mahal, for instance) are generally Muslim in origin.
