With the launch of internet services - over the last 30 years it has become easier to do research and develop a picture of ant topic that you wish to research. I myself often read about the urge and desire Jinnah had of creating "Pakistan" and the need for a separate nation.

Have come across the first documented mention of the name Pakistan -

The name "Pakistan" was first used in 1933 in a political pamphlet called Now or Never. A Cambridge University student named Rahmat Ali came up with the name. The name is a combination of the many regions that make up Pakistan:

P - The "P" is for Punjab.
A - The "A" is for Afghania
K - The "K" is for Kashmir
S - The "S" is for Sindh
TAN - The "TAN" is for Balochistan.


This in itself suggests that even BEFORE the creation of Pakistan - the intent and desire of the people of the land was Kashmir was an integral part of the birth of the new nation - Pakistan. History records are frequently written by the victor of any conflict - hence the ability to paint the faults clearly at the feet of the defeated party. History shows the blame at Nehru and Mount Batten. The fact that Kashmir was clearly a Muslim majority seems to be overlooked - suggesting from the outset this would be a huge problem if not rooted out at the "beginning" or "creation" of Pakistan - and clearly it was.

We are where we are today and India creating a scenario where the UN has confirmed the latest restrictions imposed on Indian Kashmiris are deeply concerning and will exacerbate the human rights situation. India has decided to bury its head and Modhi has used Kashmir and the longstanding issue as a diversion of current mishaps and his drive to create a hostile passion amongst his supporters creating the obvious "boogeyman" - the " Muslamics".

My personal views are Kashmiri future needs to be decided by Kashmiri - not by Indians or Pakistani. I also am of the opinion that Kashmiri being shot blinded sexually assaulted and cut off from the world is an outrage.

I often think as a Pakistani and a Kashmiri of the Judgement of Solomon when thinking of the Kashmir conflict.

Solomon, King David's son, was required to decide which of two women was the mother of a baby, when each of them claimed parenthood. Both had recently given birth, but one child had died. The story is recounted in the Old Testament .

Solomon announced that the child should be cut in two, so that each mother should have half. The real mother, unable to bear her son being killed, immediately offered it to the other woman, to save the child's life, whereas the other agreed to the proposal. The false mother was thus exposed, and Solomon returned the living child to its real mother.


Indians not being able to accept that the fate of Kashmir should be decided by Kashmiri shows they are the false mother.

So the Arabs hate Punjab so much that they replace P with B and spell it Bakistan despite knowing that Bangladesh is not the part of Pakistan any more :D

Pakistan was once mentioned by Arabs when Mohammad bin Qasim landed in Sindh to purify it from Darkness of the Dahir rule.

Pakstan is a city in Turkey.
chacha that is republic of karakalpakstan in Uzbekistan not Turkey


The word 'Pakstan' existed before existence of Pakistan as part of kara(black) kalpak (hat) stan(land).. so it doesn't make sense

however we cant say for sure if that is what inspired Ch. Rehmat to coin it or it was a mere coincidence..

No one will ever know too so this thread should be made sticky.

There was also Sakastan in the Afghanistan, Pakistan region. In the name Sistan-Baluchistan, province of Iran, Sistan/Seistan is a holdover from Sakastan. As Persia lost territory to Afghan and Turkish empires, that name moved further west, similar to what happened to Khurasaan.

Why do you have to just put ridiculous 1 liners that add no value to a thread? You have nothing to add and just seem to like trolling.

I don't think the implied mention of Pakistan is true.

Anybody who advocates that Pakistan movement was only indigenous to these areas is ignorant of recorded history of the region.

Don't worry you will find people who will add 'value' to the thread and somehow throw the Indus river in it as well.

As long as you keep off it - the value goes up tenfold - thanks
