The term Hindus' came from people inhibited on the banks of Sindhu river .Hemu would not have heard the term Hindu’ in his life time.So it’s better to call him a Hindustani/Sindustani …

The term was used by earlier generation of Muslim ruler, may be Mamluks wouldn’t used this term but Hindu term was prevalent during Suri dynasty, Mughals followed them, so administratively they had used this term

@Arleitter

I do not think Mughals had any idea regarding the term HINDU. Abul Fazl’s Akbarnama (it’s original version) does not contain any reference of the term HINDUISM or HINDUS.

They had, In Tuzuk–i-Jahangiri, Jahangir wrote that he had executed follower of same false guru of Hindus, Arjan, here he was referring to Guru Arjan of Sikh religion
