Why do most people on Pakistani news channels call India as "Hindustan"?

[bsruzm]

We call India "Hindistan" as well.

 

[Yankee-stani]

What will you call the descendants of mughals and arab migrants?

Simple Pakistani

 

[S.Y.A]

Absolutely wrong statement, Pakistani areas always had their own strong local identities. Our ancestors never called themselves as indians or our local areas as "india" or any crap like that. These are all names given by bloody foreigners not by our own ancestors.

Just goes to show that they were a divided, disunited bunch waiting to be ruled by better men. Your argument doesnt do you any favors, you try to make it sound as if the people of this region were somehow united, a pakistan before 1947. But, you are wrong, they were just warring tribes and families, conquered by better warriors, and united into one entity by force of arms. Other than that, you were just minor tribes.

United by "bloody foreignors" whose actions, directly or indirectly, resulted in creation of Pakistan. Same goes for india. Much as you would like to harp on about being fiercely independent, you followed different strands of a similar religion.

Simple Pakistani

Lol. Still not locals.

Simple Pakistani

Pakistani is not an ethnicity as Turks or Arabs or Persians/Indians

 

[Yankee-stani]

Pakistani is not an ethnicity as Turks or Arabs or Persians/Indians

India is also a "civic nationalist" construct as well typical deflection as usual

Correct- Hinduism is not a religion but a way of life- Hinduism has been called the oldest religion in the world,. The word Hindu is an exonym, and many practitioners refer to it as Sanātana Dharma, "the eternal dharma", or the "eternal way", beyond human history.

Look your not talking to a ignorant. "Way of life" is just a joke. So is Islam apparently. Now here is the thing. What way of life. If you can't outline it becomes all things to all men. I believe that is how your supreme court concluded. And Sanathan Dharma is the correct name. Hindu as in meaning understood today is of recent invention.

And with regards to India. It is rooted from what is Pakistan. Th Indus. If your from Chennai then you are as far from Indus as a Turk. Finally Romania is not Roman Empire. Even if the name conflates. Non of the India's we have today rooted in the land that gave birth to this name - coterminous Pakistan.

• Indiana ~ US state
• Indians [West] ~ Caribean
• Indonesia ~ formerly called East Indies
• India
• etc

The Brits call them Hindoos

 

[Yankee-stani]

Mutt face neither is a 'Indian'. Is a banana munching Dravidian hanging of a Banyan tree same ethnic group as a dhalkhor Sikh? Or a primitive Munda Abo same as a Gujju wobbling his head. No they are NOT.

Broke-India is some ancient lands Pakistan was made in 1947

woke-India is just some construct made by some White British Imperialists in the 1800s

[Baba Google]

Hindustan. हिंदुस्तान .This name has been awarded by Arabs . Interestingly, the religion Hinduism also termed by Arabs. The area inhabited by Hindu called Hindustan.

Not arab, its persian word which means land of or land of black thieves or you can call it land of slaves. No offence.

 

[El Sidd]

Central Asian countries call them people of Indus as Hinduwaan.

 

[Baba Google]

India. This name given by western country to us like they do with every country ,thing and place. Western world rename everything for their convenience. They named River Sindhu, सिंधु, as Indus and region called India.

Even the word India is darogatory term used by west.

 

[Baba Google]

Hindustan is a Persian word for India, meaning the place/land of Indus (Hindus).

Lol, stop fooling around and tell us the real meaning of the word Hindu. Lol according to Lughet-e-Kishwari a Persian dictionary published in Lucknow in 64 it means chor (thief), dakoo (dacoit), raahzan (waylayer), and ghulam (slave).

Our ancestors were never "urban" people on these lands that are called Pakistan now. Our ancestors were a people scattered in small villages which were inhabited and abandoned from time to time. In good peaceful times settled agriculture flourished, in bad chaotic times the herding and grazing flourished. That is the reason our ancestors on these lands never developed any centralized kingdoms in the past. Our ancestors just didn't like urban life, they always preferred mobile active life of villages which were not permanent anyway. And yes I will remain proud of my ancestors and don't give **** to better "warrior" BS. Our ancestors never "waited" for any mofos to rule us, because ruling was taking place predominantly in the few urban centres of Punjab like Lahore, Sialkot, Multan etc. The people living in other areas never gave a damn about who was ruling and who was getting replaced in those urban centres.

I think the more appropriate name is: Hindutvaism

Or more formally

Republic of Hindutvaism
