Spt. 3, 2010

Lafz Hind/Hindu kay hawala say saikroun safaat

qalamband ho chukay hain is kay bavajoud natija dhak
kay tein paat raha hai. Es lafz ki tehqeeq say tein chizain
wabasta nazar aati hain:
1. Dharam
2. Alaqa
3. Zoban
Yah tinoun chizain bari hisas hain es liay es lafz say jan
chorea nahain ja sakti. Mohaqein ki mase apni jaga likin
lafz ki jar tak rasae na ho pana, eak sawaliay ki shakal
main es dharti say juray logoun kay liay khasusan aur
mahirein-e-arzyaat aur mahirein lisanyaat kay ru-ba-ru
3

omomi sata par khara hai.

Es lafz kay baray main kaha jata hai kah yah lafz sindhu ki
bigri hoe shakl hai. Chounkah (Arab) mosalman sindhu
lafz ada nahain kar saktay thay es liay onhoun nay sindhu
ko hindu main talfaz kiya. Es zimun main kuch touzihaat
paish ki ja sakti hain. Maslan
Aawaz Sein ka tabadal kisi bhi zoban main hay
maqsura/h nahin.
Aawaz Sein donyan ki taqribun her zoban main
mojoud hai aur tha. Aawaz sein say motalaqa mosam,
mahoul aur qudrati halaat donyan kay taqribun her
khitay main mojoud rahay hain.
Arbi main sein say milti dou aawazain say aur sawad
bhi mojoud hain es liay sein kay elawa en dou aawazoun
ki mojoudgi main kisi mutbadal aawaz ka ravaj pana qiyas
aur soch say bahar ki cheez hai.
Arbi main dhay mojoud nahain es kay tabadal ki dou
4

suratain samjh main aati hain.

1. Daal+hay maqsura
2. Daal say lafz ki adaegi sindu. Yah lafz sindhu
kay qareebtarein hai.
Darya-e-sindh kay os ya es par kay logoun ko agar Hindu
kaha jata to baat kisi haad tak samjh main aa sakti thi.
Hind ki dour daraz walaetoun say motalaq logoun ko
hindu naam daina logic aur samjh say bahar ki cheez hai.
Sindhu ko arboun ka hindu talafz karna yaqenun kisi
mahar-e-lisanyaat ki samjh main nahain aa sakta.
Yah bhi kaha jata hai kah river sindhu kay os par kay
mosalmanoun nay yahaan kay logoun ya phir yahaan kay
dharam say motalaqa logoun ko yah naam diya. Yahaan
bhi tein chizain samnay aati hain:
Mazahab ki hamaisha say khud apnay hawala say
pehchan aur shanakht rahi hai. Koe dosra ossay naam
nahain day sakta.
5

Agar Hindu mazhab nahain balkah kalchay, jaisa kah

kaha bhi jata hai to es zimun main kehna yah maqsood hai
kah donyan kay her kalchar ka apna hawala apna alaqa
apnay log apnay mosam apnay qudarti halaat apna Pani
Apni khourak aur khud say apna naam raha hai.
Yah dharma mosalmanoun ki aamad say sadyoun
pehlay yahaan mojoud tha es liay esaay mosalmanoun ka
aa kar naam daina darust nahain lagta
Es walaet main seraf yahi eak dharma nahain tha.
1. Bani Israel kay nabi kaam kar rahay thay.
2. Yahaan kay apnay nabi aaay.
3. Hazrat zartusht kay pairu mojoud thay aur oon ka
mosalmanoun ki aamad say bohat pehlay sika chalta tha.
Mosalmanoun ka sika to Mohammad bin Qasim ki aamad
kay baad chala jabkah mosalman to ehad-e-Risalat say
aana shuru ho gay thay. Mohammad bin Qasim ki aamad
say peh mosalmanoun kay hamlay shuru hogay thay. Jin
6

ka sika chalta ho wohhi es qisam ki bari tabdiliaan la

saktay hain. Yah naam to Mohammad bin Qasim ki aamad
say pehlay mojoud tha.

Es zimun main eak nazriya yah bhi hai kah:

The sindhu was misspelled by the Europeans as Indus,
and from Indus the word "Indian" has come.
Yahaan yah baat wazay nahain kah yorap waloun say
koun morad hain. Woh faransisi thay, walundaizi thay,
purtaghali thay ya angraiz thay. Hind ka angraizi tarjama
angraiz dour ki yaad hai. Lafz hind say baias hai nakah
inda say. India tarjama angraizoun ya maghrab waloun ki
dain ho sakta hai tahum es ki takhleeq ka karun Indus
nahain ho sakta. Kayounkah:
a. Sindh eak makhsous aur mahdoud walaet ka naam
hai ossay puray Hindustan/bar-e-sagher par mehmoul
nahain kiya ja sakta.
7

b. Agar darya-e-sindh moqadas aur taqat ki alamat tha

to Ganga aur Jamna bhi kuch kam moqadas nahain rahay.
En daryaoun kay hawala say Hind ka koe bhi naam par
sakta tha.
c. Indus bazat-e-khud tarjama hai. Es say India
takhleeq pa sata hai ya pa giya ho ga likin Indus ya India
Hindustan say qatae dou alag chizain hain.
d. Hind+Satan ka India/Indus tarjama darust nahain.
Haan mostamal ho janay kay sabab darust mana, samjha
aur tasawr kiya giya hai.
e. Galt-ul-aam ko asal kay motradaf maan liya jata hai
likin wo asal ka haqiqi tabadal nahain hota jaisay qulfi ko
qofli kay maenoun main samjha jata hai halankah yah
seray say darust nahain hai.
Es zimun main eak hawala yah bhi malahza farma lain:
The Holy book of Parsis, Zindosta" pronounces Sapt
Sindhu as Hapt Hindu. H replaced alphabet S. The
8

Iranis too had pronounced the word Sindhu as Hindu.

Yah biyan jari karnay walay nay sein kay tabadal H kay
liay Farsi ya moqadas Zindosta" say eak lafz bhi batour
hawala darj nahain kiya.
Yah bhi kaha jata hai:
The term Hindu (Indu or Intu in China) is still used in
some languages to denote an Indian.
Kuch ka khayaal hai kah lafz Hind Kouh Hindukash kay
hawala say vajoud main aaya hai. Yahaan dou tein batain
guftagu talab hain. Pahar kay sath Hindu ka sabqa
sawaliya bun kar samnay aata hai. Baat wahaan ki
wahaan hi reh jati hai kah yah lafz pahaar kay naam kay
liay, kahaan say aaya.
Kaha jata hai yah pahaar Hindoun ki mout ka sabab bana
ya oon ki mout kay hawala say yah naam par giya. Yahaan
dou batain zaihan main rehni chahiein:
1. A-Lafz Hindu kay sath lahqa kosh ho to hi essay mout
9

ka pahaar kaha jaay ga. Log mukhtalif hawaloun say

paharoun ka rukh kartay aaay hain safar main amwaat
to hoti hi rehtin hain yah koe aisi nae baat nahain.
Abhi kal parsoun ki baat hai, Pakistan main hawae jahaz
kay pahaar say takranay kay sabab amwaat hoe hain. Es
pahar ka naam en amwaat kay hawala say nahain para.
Phir es phaar kay hawala say kisi subay ya puray
Pakistan ka naam hi qarar pa jaay, yah kaisay momkin
hai.
B-Mout ka koe khas hawala mojoud ho to hi essay mout
ka pahaar kaha ja sakay ga.

Es ki tein aur suratain bhi farz ki ja sakti hain.

1. Yahaan koe bari larae hoe ho gi jis main bohat
sari halaqatain hoe houn gi.
2. Pahaar ko abour kartay samay amwaat hoe houn go.
10

3. Parao kay doran sardi ya baraf bari kay sabab

bhari tadaad main log mar gaay houn gay. Es zimun main
Ibn Batuta ka yah hawala diya jata hai. Woh likhta hai.
"Another reason for our halt was fear of the snow. For
upon this road there is a mountain called Hindukush,
which means 'the slayer of the Indians' because the
horses and animals which are brought from the land of
India die there in large numbers as a result of the
extreme cold and the great quantity of snow."
4. Dais badar honay waloun nay edhar ka roukh kiya
ho ga aur onhain qudrati aur wahaan kay mosmi hhalaaty
nay mout kay ghat otar diya ho ga.
2. Lafz Hindu kay sath lahqa kach ho to es kay maeni
qate mukhtalif ho jatay hain.
A. Kach rehnay, parao, teharnay, aaram karnay, ja-e-
aqamamat aur jaay panah ko kaha jata ha. Lafz kouchar
essi say tarkeeb paya hai.
11

B. Hindu tapasvi omomun paharoun ka roukh kartay

aaay hain. Oon ki aqamat kay sabab es ka naam kouh
Hindukash par giya ho.
C. Lafz kach hi haqiqat kay qareebtarein nazar aata
hai.
D. Kouh hindukach bar-e-sagher ka hissa sahi likin
markaz say bohat dour hai lihaza lafz hind/hindu ki
tashkeel ka sabab banta qayas say bahar ki baat hai.
Haan markaz kay hawala say yah naam ossay mila ho ga.
E. Dais badar logoun nay es pahar kay qurb-o-jawar
main panah li ho gi aur phir yahein kay ho kar reh gay
houn gay aur oon ki nasl pheli phuli ho gi. Yah toje
yaqinun baikaar-e-mehez nazar nahain aati. Wahan es
nasal ka soragh lagana aaj mokin nahain lagta kayounkah
tagheraat ka amal jari raha hai. Phir bhi kahein nakhein
aur kisi nakisi sata par os nasl ka soragh lagaya ja sakta
hai.
Lahqa kach ho ya Kosh, es say koe khas farq nahain
12

parta, asal baat lafz Hind ki hai. Agar Hind naam

mayassar aaya to kin logoun kay zariya say aaya. Woh
log koun kis alaqa aur kis nasl say motalaq thay.
Kisi pahari zoban main lafz Hindu batour mahab ka
bashinda nahain milta nahi batour jaga aur qoum kay
milta hai. Yah naam markaz kay hawala say mila maloum
hota hai aur phir mostamal ho giya ho ga.
Yah bhi kaha jata hai kah Hindustani inhabited by dark
complexioned thay aur fair skinned jo northwest say
taalaq rakhtay thay, nay oon ki rangat kay sabab bar-e-
sagher kay logoun ko Hindu (kali rangat walay) naam day
diya ho ga.
Bar-e-sagher koe aam khita-e-araz nahain hai. Mosmi
aur digar zamini halaat waghera kay hawala say yahaan
mokhtalif rangoun kay log aqamatpazeer thay. Eak
alaqay main siyafaam bhi thay aur aaj bhi siya aur sanvli
rangat walay log mukhtalif jagoun par nazar aatay hain.
En siya faam ki qaleel tadad kay hawala say yahaan kay
13

bashindoun ya phir kisi mazhab say motaalaq logoun ko

yah naam nahain diya ja sakta. Agar farz kar lain kah yah
naam rangat kay hawala say mila to bhi sawal khara
rehta hai kah oon kay pas lafz hind/hindu kahaan say
aaya. Yaqinun wahaan bhi kahein say mahajrat karkay
aaya ho ga.
Kuch log es lafz ka Origen Ariyae batatay hain. Yah lafz
seray say sanskrat ka nahain. Agar Arya logoun nay yah
naam diya to bhi kahein aur jaga say oon kay haan
mahajrat karkay aaya ho ga jis say tein batoun ki taraf
ishara milta hai:
1- Arya log kisi aur say motasar thay. Es tara lafz
hind/hindu ki arya logoun say pehlay logoun ki taraf
tavajo mur jati hai. Goya arya log es kay mojad nahain
thay.
2- Oon par kisi aur ka yahaan par galbay say pehlay,
ghalba raha ho ga.
3- Arya log arboun ya es lafz say motaalaq logoun say
14

lisani hawala say motasar thay

Eak khayaal yah bhi hai:
The Greeks, who invaded India under Alexander the
great, drop the H completely and used the name indoos
or Indus which later led to the formation of the word
India.
Sikandar say pehlay yonani log aa chukay hain. En say
pehlay bani israeel ki bhi aamad ho chuki thi thisri baat
yah kah Indus indoos ya inda ka lafz Hindu ya Hind say
bhala kiya laina daina. Indoos ya Indus say India tarkeeb
pa giya ho mana ja sakta hai likin lafz Hind/Hindu ki alag
say shanakht baqi rehti hai.
Lafz Hindu batour mazhabi shanakhat, yahaan ki
moqadas kotab, maslan Baghvatgeeta, Ramaen main bhi
nahain milti. Essi tara yah lafz Vidik adab main bhi
dasyaab nahain hai.
Yah bhi kaha jata hai yah naam Arab mosalmanoun nay
15

diya. Arab (1) to hamaisha say mokhtalif hawaloun say

mosalmanoun say sadyoun pehlay aatay jatay thay. Es
tara es moamlay main Arab kay sath mosalmanoun kay
lahqa jachta nahain.
Lafz Hind Arbi ka hai aur yah arboun ki aamad kay
sath yahaan warid howa. Arbi main yah lafz mowanas (2)
hai aur es kay maeni :
Ontoun ka jhond "a group of camels" yah maeni qadeem
arboun ki taraf lay jatay hain.
Es lafz kay arbi main yah maeni aisi ourat kay bhi hain jo
apnay naz-o-nakhra aur hosan-o-jamal say dil libha laity
ho.
Hind kay maeni fuck kay bhi hain, ho sakta hai kisi toaef
kay hosn-e-dilruba kay hawala say yah naam thehar giya
ho.
Farsi main bhi yah lafz Arbi say daramad howa hai aur
Farsi main es kay maeni: chour, rahzan, loutaira, ghulam
16

(3) Barda (farmabardar khadam jo malkiat main ho), sia

faam (black color) kala (black) liay jatay hain. (4)
Maeni chour say tavajo es janib bhi phir jati hai kah Raja
Dahar kay ehad main behri qazaqoun nay Arbi
mosalmanoun ka saman lout liya jis kay sabab yahaan ka
naam Hind batour loutairay par giya. Es baat main koe
wazan nahain chand logoun kay sabab puri Hind baradri
ko mosalman kayoun motoub karain gay.
Kala, zulmat kay maenoun main bhi liya jata hai. Yahaan
kay siyafam bashindoun kay hawala say yah naam nahain
tehra kayounkah yahaan hamaimaisha say mukhtalif
rangoun kay log aabad chaly aatay hain.
Zulmat kay reference say kisi mahajar nabi, falakonda
waghera nay yah naam rakh diya ho ga likin es say nafrat
ya haqarat ka koe pehlu samnay nahain aata tahum
siyahi kay hawalay say kae marakbaat sonnay aur
parhnay ko miltay hain: maslan
Kala monh (black mouth, ugly or who speaks ill)
17

monh badaisi lafz hai.

Kali Jeebh (evil speaking tounge)
jeebh mahajar lafz hai.
Kala chore (notorious thief)
Kala dhandha (illegal profession)
Kala dhan (black money)
Kali bhair (black sheep)
Kalai laikh (black deeds)
Kalay laikh (misfortune/ baad luck)
Kala chum (black skinned person)
Kale kartout (bad deeds)
Yah misalain batour zaeqa tehreer ki gae hain.
Hindustan sonay ki chirya thi aur hai. Es liay baroni
donyan kay log arboun (5) samait yahaan mukhtalif
hawaloun say aaay likin Hindustan kay log seraf:
18

Barouni hukamranoun ki fouj main batour sipa gaay

Tabligh kay liay gaay
Baruni shahi darbaroun main malazam rahay
Yahaan ki walaitoun main wao ki barhoti say alfaz bantay
aaay hain. Maslun
Band say bandu,
Chand say chandu,
Saand say sandu,
Chaand say chaandu,
Gaand say gaandu waghera waghera
Baeinhi lafz Hind say lafz Hindu tarkeeb pa giya ho ga.
Jis kay maeni walaet Hind ka basi bantay hain.
Mazhab kay hawala say lafz Barhmaan ki taraf tavajo jati
hai. Barhma say Barahmun aur Barahmun say Ibraheem
(AS) ki taraf tavajo phir jati hai aur yah moamla tehqeeq
talab hai kah kiya Barahmun Hazrat Ibraheem (AS) ki
19

nasl say motaalaq hain?!

Hindi batour monshi aur motarjam baruni walaitoun
main gaay ho sakta hai yah lafz who khud daramad
karkay laay houn.
Lafz Hind Arboun kay zariay yah oon say taalaq kay
hawala say yahaan warid howa. Essi tara farsi lahqa
satan farsioun kay towassat say hind kay sath jur giya.
Farsioun ka ghalba aur asar-o-rasukh bohat pehlay say
yahaan par chala aata hai. Oon ki Islamioun say bohat
pehlay yahaan kay alaqoun par hakumat rahi hai.
Yahaan ki zobanoun main hazaroun marakab alfaz mojoud
hain jo moqami aur gher moqami alfaz say tarkeeb-o-
tashkeel paay hain. Maslan zimadar, foujdar, ainak,
aazmana (Aazmaesh karna ka ekhtasar), farrmana
(Farmaesh karna ka ekhtasar), tehband, chadar,
doupata, Doumousa, Doumonhhi, hourain, houraan,
qabahtain, citiaan, mintmar, bound nikalna, advice karna,
tease karna waghera waghera.
20

Baroni zobanoun kay alfaz ki kasrat ko daikh khayaal kar

liya jata hai kah falaan zoban falan zoban say nikli ya bani
hai ya falaan zoban falan ki reshta main falan lagti hai. Es
qisam ki batain qate ghalt hain. Hindustan shuru say
badaisioun ki amajgah raha hai es liay badaisioun ki
zobanain yahain ki moqami zobanoun par asarandaz hoti
rahi hain aur ya amal aaj bhi jari hai.
Darj-e-bala morouzaat kay tonazar main yah maan lainay
main kiya kharabi hai:
Lafz Hind mahajar hai
Mosalmanoun kay dour say bohat pehlay ki Arbi aur
arboun say yahaan aaya hai.
Satan ka lahqa Mosalmanoun kay dour say bohat
pehlay ki Farsi aur farsioun say liya giya hai.
21

----------------------
1- Lafz Arbi bar-e-sagher say os walaet main giya hai jo
donoun molkoun kay qaribi taalaq ko zahir kar raha hai. Yah
lafz yahaan ka lafz adab hai aur yah aaj bhi Punjabi zoban main
mostamal hai.
2- Abu Sufyan ki bivi Amir Moaviya ki maan aur Yazeed ki
dadi ka naam Hind bin Utba tha.
