Indostan
Hindūstān (Persian: هندوستان pronunciation , from Hindū and -stān), also sometimes spelt as Hindōstān (lit. Indo-land), along with its shortened form Hind (هند), is the Persian-language name for the Indian subcontinent that later became commonly used by its inhabitants in the Hindi–Urdu language.Hindustan was the Persian word for India, but when introduced to the subjects under Persianate rule, the subsequent culture which resulted from these events gave it another specific meaning that of the cultural region between the river Sutlej (end of Northwestern India) and the city Varanasi (start of Eastern India). As the area where Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb and the Hindustani language traces its origins, it corresponds to the plains where the river Yamuna flows or the regions/states encompassing Haryana, Delhi, Harit Pradesh, and Awadh. Other toponyms for the subcontinent include Jambudvīpa and Bharata Khanda. Since the Partition of India in 1947, although limitedly, Hindustan continues to be used to the present day as a historic name for the Republic of India.
