== Where the word is from ==<br />
Deccan refers to the [[Deccan Plateau]] in southern India. The states of [[Andhra Pradesh]], [[Karnataka]], [[Kerala]] and [[Tamil Nadu]] lie on this plateau. The name is an anglicised from the [[Prakrit]] word ''dakkhin''. That word comes from the [[Sanskrit]] word ''dakṣiṇa-'' ({{lang-sa|दक्षिण}}), meaning 'South' or 'The South'.<ref>[http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/ebooks/mw/0400/mw__0498.html Monier-Williams Sanskrit-English Dictionary, p.&nbsp;498] (scanned image at ''SriPedia Initiative''): Sanskrit ''dakṣiṇa'' meaning 'right', 'southern'.</ref><br />
<br />
'''Mujahideen''' (also spelt '''Mujahedin''') in [[Arabic language|Arabic]] is a "struggler". So the name Deccan Muhahideen may literally mean ''Strugglers of the South'', ''The South Strugglers'' or ''South Strugglers''.<br />
