One studying the Vedas (5)

I believe the answer is:

hindu

(Other definitions for hindu that I've seen before include "Person belonging to major Indian religion" , "Adherent of an Asian religion" , "Devotee of Indian religion" , "Central Asian mountain range" , "Follower of India's main religion" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times and the Universal.
