A British puisne judge on the Supreme Court of Bengal, Sir William Jones, in the late eighteenth century compiled a law book for the Indian population based on the racist Manu Dharma of the Brahmins. He named the entire Indian population Hindus and their religion Hinduism.

During the late eighteenth-century AD, the British rulers wanted to launch a judicial system for the locals. The local Jewish Aryans handed them the Manu Dharma which put the Britishers in a rosier light (Britishers were a white skinned Aryan race – high class according to Manu dharma while dark skinned Indians were the working low class – exactly what the Britishers were looking for that would enable them to subdue the Indians).

In the year 1794 AD the Sanskrit Manusmriti (Manava Dharm sastra) was translated into English by Sir William Jones (who was the puisne Judge of the Bengal supreme Court and a philologist) and was published as the Hindu Law by the British colonial government. This brought all Indians under the term Hinduism and thus came into being Hinduism as a religion officially. This term Hinduism was unheard of before these series of events. Indians were people who had lived in the banks of the Sindu (Hindu according to the Persian pronunciation) river and who were driven to the east and south by the invading Jewish Aryans from Persia (Iran) in the 6th Century BC. The Medo-Persian King Ahasuerus had 127 provinces under his kingship in the 5th century BC and India was one of them even then.
