Answer:
Answer: The meaning of the
term 'Hindustan' has changed
over the centuries in the
following manner:
1. In the thirteenth century
Minhaj-i-Siraj used the term
Hindustan. He meant areas of
Punjab, Haryana and the lands
between Ganga and Yamuna.

sense that were a part of the
dominions of the Delhi
Sultanate. The term never
included South India.
2. In the sixteenth century poet
Babur used the term
Hindustan' to describe the
geography, the fauna and the
culture of the inhabitants of
the subcontinent.

Hind' in the same sense as
Babur did in the sixteenth
century.
4. 'Hindustan' did not carry the political and national meanings as the term 'India' does today.
