​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mohammad Ali Jinnah,the founder of Pakistan, and his party the Muslim League, insisted on calling the modern day Republic of India 'Hindustan' in reference to its Hindu-Majority population.

Answer 2

Answer:

❥︎Hindustan is derived from the Persian word Hindū cognate with the Sanskrit Sindhu. ... In 515 BCE, Darius I annexed the Indus Valley including Sindhu, the present day Sindh, which was called Hindu in Persian. During the time of Xerxes, the term "Hindu" was also applied to the lands to the east of Indus. . .

❥︎Hindu is Persian for Sindhu, the name for the Indus River in ancient Sanskrit. Thus, 'Hindustan' is 'the land beyond the Indus'. Hindustan became a commonly used term to refer to the Mughal Empire, comprising primarily of north India, prior to British rule. . .
