nope not in south india. baniya/vaniya is a north indian and gujarati caste.

and what is the eymology of “hindustan” if not hindu + istan? rumi’s poetry mentions hindus in the 13th century.

Yes.I think I mistook them for Vanniyar in Tamil Nadu.

My point was the term `HINDU’ would have been used collectively and not to distinguish people by religion.
