'''हिंदू''' असे लोक आहेत जे स्वतःला सांस्कृतिकदृष्ट्या सामाजिक आणि धार्मिकदृष्ट्या [[हिंदु धर्म]] पालन करतात .<ref name=jefferylong>[[Jeffery D.

It was formed by adding the English suffix -ism, of Greek origin, to the word ''Hindu'', of Persian origin; it was about the same time that the word ''Hindu'', without the suffix -ism, came to be used mainly as a religious term. (...) The name ''Hindu'' was first a geographical name, not a religious one, and it originated in the languages of Iran, not of India. (...) They referred to the non-Muslim majority, together with their culture, as 'Hindu'. (...) Since the people called Hindu differed from Muslims most notably in religion, the word came to have religious implications, and to denote a group of people who were identifiable by their Hindu religion. (...) However, it is a religious term that the word ''Hindu'' is now used in English, and Hinduism is the name of a religion, although, as we have seen, we should beware of any false impression of uniformity that this might give us."</ref> ऐतिहासिकदृष्ट्या, हा शब्द भौगोलिक, सांस्कृतिक आणि नंतरच्या [[भारतीय उपखंड]] मध्ये राहणाऱ्या लोकांसाठी धार्मिक अभिज्ञापक म्हणून देखील वापरला जात आहे.<ref name=brian111 />{{sfn|Lorenzen|2006|pp=xx, 2, 13–26}}
