Hindustan information

Hindūstān (pronunciation^ⓘ) is a name for India, broadly referring to the Indian subcontinent.^[1] Being the Iranic cognate of the Indic word Sindhu,^[2] it originally referred to the land of lower Indus basin (present-day Sindh).^[3] Later, the term referred to the Indo-Gangetic plain, and became the classical name of the region in Hindi-Urdu. It finally referred to the entire subcontinent since the early modern period.^[4]^[5]^[6]^[3] Since the Partition of India in 1947, Hindustan continues to be used to the present day as a historic name for the Republic of India.^[7]^[8]^[9]

The Arabic equivalent of the term is Hind.^[1] The two terms are used synonymously in Hindu-Urdu.

Hindustan was also commonly spelt as Hindostan.^[10]
