    It should probably be "Hindu".  But it's like that in the original book (I checked Amazon), so you'd have to take it up with the book's authors.

    I think "Hindi" is the adjective form, "Hindu" the noun. Also, I think Hindi is similar to "Jewish" in that it describes both a language and a religion.

    basic rule of thumb for nouns: hindu refers to adherent of religion; native of geographic area; hindi refers to language

    basic rul of thumb for adjectives: hindu refers to adherent of religion; hindi refers to language or adherent of religion

    Why? I haven't a clue.

    Methinks there was no difference until the Brits came along. Anyway, as someone was wont to say, शून्यता

    Or, a more pukka quote from the Teacher: व्यर्य ही व्यर्य, व्यर्य ही व्यर्य! सब कुछ व्यर्य है।
