What is the original name of Hindukush Mountains
Source: – True Indology / Twitter.
The original name of Hindukush was Uparisyena (Upari=over + Syena=eagle. Meaning "out of reach of eagles"). Greeks called it "Caucasus Indicus"(=Caucasus of India/Indus)
It was Muslims who first called the mountain Hindu Kush(=Hindu slaughter) https://t.co/bCUHlL7qJC

Actually the present day Hindi word upar(i) itself comes from Sanskrit upari meaning "above" pic.twitter.com/7g0xIJIDlh
