Dhanyavaad for sharing the above.  If possible, I would
like to share the excerpted Hinduism Today article with 
Jeeyar Swami to see if the conclusion that "Hindu" is of
indigenous origin is acceptable by the Shree Vaishnav.
Of course, the use of "Ved(ic)" and "Bharat" is accurate
and most commendable!
