Thats what im saying, the name hindustan was named by us Muslims when we came here, and it wasnt for just sub continent, a term that British game to the areas under their control largely speaking.....It was for entire South Asia. Even later in 15 august 1947 when u got independence u also have yr country as bharat not Hindustan.When Iqbal wrote "Sare jahan se acha hindustan hamara " he was referring to a geographical place and its people, not just hindus. In 1905, when Iqbal in his early twenties recited that poem he viewed our subcontinent to comprise a blend of both Hindu-Muslim culture, a pluralistic society in the making.

We are Hindus, but not in the religious sense, because there is no such religion as "Hinduism", it is a geographic term like Hindu Kush, Hindustan, Hinko etc. : Meaning and Origin Of The Word "Hindu"and so the search for identity continues among the Pakistanis. But I don't know why this generation cannot settle down and just use the name instead of harping after half the P they don't have, half the A they don't have and 3/4 of the K they don't have. It is like the other day somebody claimed the Vedas belong to Pakistan ...Guys, if you are that unhappy, just let go and call yourself Hindus and suddenly you are Hindustan V2!

I feel Pakistans fate was sealed on the day they made urdu thr national language.a great blunder n one of the major reasons for not being able to cultivate a strong national identity till now.
well we got to thank bhayyajees for tht
Your over thinking this
Maybe historically your right but today Hindu = idol worshippers and Hindustan = India
Pakistan is the culmination of Muslim history in South Asia, we have our own distinct regions, languages and culture centered around Islam.
Your view point whilst valid and even historically accurate is no longer relevant especially considering the general animosity we have towards Hindus and things connected to them
How can islam be part of history,has it changed to have a history.Well that is completely wrong and an uneducated made-up definition. Hindko people are not connected to any such "religion" even if it can be called such; the same being true for the Hindu Kush mountains- a region within Pakistan/Afghanistan, not a region of India.
So no, I do not buy that definition; especially when it has no place in academic history. In fact nobody except for a mullah type buys that definition.
Meanings and origins of the word Hindu: Meaning and Origin Of The Word "Hindu"
And no idol worshiper is not defined as "hindu". What a silly term for such a broad difnition. Were ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans "Hindus"? Do you consider Hindko people "idol worshipers?" Are you insane?
Pakistan is the historic land of the Indus and the history that surrounds it, which is the legacy of that country. Islam is a part of that history.
The northern part of India as well as parts of Nepal, eastern Pakistan and Nepal. South India does not count as Hindustan and neither does western Pakistan.Hidustan means subcontinent which is consist of three countries India Pakistan Bangladesh.

This is rather a funny claim considering the fact that the people of Pakistan never had their own identity sinceIndia has a fake identity. The notion of Indian identity failed in 1947 and is in direct contradiction to the sovereignty of neighbouring lands such as Bhutan, Nepal, Burma, Sri Lanka etc. Moreover, rarely has India existed as a united entity in history.
All in all Indian nationalism is territorial nationalism. Whereas for Pakistanis, nationalism is religious nationalism. All practising Muslims are religious nationalists. Its the non-practising ones who prefer ethnic identity over religious.
All in all Pakistanis (he practising Muslim section) have a stronger identity than Indians.
