Explanation:

In the thirteenth century, the term "Hindustan" meant the areas of Punjab, Haryana and the lands between the Ganga and Yamuna. ... While the idea of a geographical and cultural entity like 'India' did exist, the term "Hindustan" did not carry the political and national meanings which we associate with it today. In the 13th century, Minhaj-i-Siraj wrote the Persian used “Hindustan” in the political sense for lands, which was part of the dominions of the Delhi Sultan. In the 14th century, the poet Amir Khusrau used the “Hindi” word for the people and culture of the Indus river.
