No the word Hindu was given by Persian invaders, Not the British. When the Persians arrived in NW India, they found civilisation along the Sindh River (it is in Pakistan now). They could not pronounce the word Sindh, instead they pronounced it as Hind, and hence the Persians called all these sindh people as Hindu.
