The word hindu was given by foriegners especially persians to those who used to live near the Indus river. So calling aborigional people of Bangladesh as Hindu is misleading nor the sanatan fits to be as a religion either cause the word sanatan means anything to do with premitive matters.
If poresh's father follows any books of ancient sages such veda, upannash or gita, or moha bharat then why should he or anyone else be name as hindu instead they should be call as people of veda or whatever the book they follow.
The word religion's antonym is not dharma nor synamous. The word religion means those who are the authorities of churches and protectors of churches affairs based on the book of bible.
To whom you may call hindu they don't follow bible nor the followers of quranic people be called islamic religion either. The word islam means peace. They should be called as people of the book of quran.
The word Eloh in hebrew and Allah is in arabic, is just a name given to discribe the certain natural events in an unified theory named Allah/Eloah. And Allah is the NUR and the meaning of the nur is the dark matter or Light [not the sun's light or the moon's light] and this dark matter is hidden in plain view. and by the brilliant flashes[lightening/thunder/big bang] of this Nur, everything was
created in the whole universe. and this Nur is eternal i.e., it has no begining nor ending.
That which has a beginging, it has end but except this nur.
So Allha is the nur, Allah is the law of universe, Allah is the sustainer, Allah is the life giver, Allah is who moves the wind, Allah is who cause the lightening and by lightening everything was created. man and animal species were created with water, soil and spirit(nuh - smokeless flame) not the soul(nufs - where retain our memories - database). The earth and species were evolved like
pottery.
So anyone wants to call Allah as Rabb or any other name, its fine as long as he knows what he/she is talking about. By uttering the name of Allah is not like performing a magic, no not at all. We all call this natural phenomenon Allah/Eloh because all the Prophets like Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad (pbuoaot) all called Allah/Eloh.
Perhaps in veda's sages must have called it in different names than this but they are all meant the same thing. According to Dr. Jakir Naik, vedantic people did not worship idols but later people started worshiping gita, shiva, durga, etc perhaps for political reasons and i don't think it has any spiritual elements in it.
