Answer:

Hindustan (Persian: هندوستان About this soundpronunciation (help·info)), along with its shortened form Hind (هند),[1] are the Persian names for India, broadly the Indian subcontinent, which later became used by its inhabitants in Hindi–Urdu (Hindustani).[2][3][4][5] Other toponyms of the subcontinent include Jambudvipa, Bharata, and India. After the Partition of India, it continues to be used as a historic name for the Republic of India.[6][7][8]

A secondary meaning of Hindustan is as a geographic term for the Indo-Gangetic Plain in northern India.[
