The term' Hindu' and well as 'India' are derived from 'Sindhu' and 'Indus' . But presently, 'Hindu' is a religious community and understood as such. So there is no confusion.
I am not sure about Hindus but India is certainly the gift of likes of Columbus and Vasco da Gama. Wherever they went they found Indians. They have kindly changed the names to Aboriginals but You can find them everywhere in the USA, including North America, Australia, Caribbeans etc. Example- Red Indians, West Indians etc. It is basically Indigenous that later became Indian.

Actually, Columbus was confused and he believed that he had discovered 'India' whereas he had gone to America. Hence the original residents in America, who painted themselves red were called 'Red Indians; to differentiate from real Indians.

If India has Cyber Hindus then it also have Cyber Muslim and Cyber Christian. It sounds very strange. Computers are creating religion and castes. It should be e-religion and e-caste.
Yes. actually we have. There are 'cyber atheists' as well.
