I wonder why they didn't just call it the "Indian Switcheroo". Why would it be named after a religion?

India is derived from "Hindu". It rhymes and in some languages, it is the same.

India is derived from the river Indus. As in the land around and beyond the Indus. Hindus came later as a way to describe the people and religion of the people in the region. Now it refers to the religion alone and not the people.

I guess it was a bit of a rhyming play.
