True, the Persians called it, Just as the Holy Prophet called the region in east as Khorasan including parts of Pakistan. And you prove my point, a land being inhabited by Hindus does not mean it has a HINDUSTAN EMPIRE OR BHARAT KINGDOM, that is exactly the point u have proven.
India as a word as no historical basis, certainly not, and Pakistan would have never existed had for over 1000 years, Muslims had not arrived in the region around 722 near Multan, Modern day Pakistan.
And the same way, the leader Ahmed Shah Durrani born in Multan, Pakistan also called the Sadozai Kingdom and the Last Afghan Empire different from Persians, called it The Durrani Empire around Indus river, never mentioned anything HINDUSTAN.
The Durrani Empire at its maximum extent encompassed present-day Afghanistan, northeastern Iran, eastern Turkmenistan (including the Panjdeh oasis), almost, most of Pakistan, and a tiny portion northwestern India, including the Kashmir region.
The names Indos, Bharat, Tianzhu and Tenjiku were all coined, even before Islam came to being.
