Hindustan
Hindustan ((ヒンディー語:हिन्दुस्तान) ; ; IAST: ' ; ; ;) is a common geographic term for the northern/northwestern Indian subcontinent.〔(Sindh: An Introduction ) 〕
==Etymology==
Hindustan is derived from the Modern Persian word ''Hindū''. In Old Persian, the region beyond the Indus River was referred to as ''Hinduš'' (the Iranic equivalent of Sanskrit ''Sindhu''), hence Modern Persian ''Hind'', ''Hindū''. This combined with the Persian suffix ''-stān'' (meaning literally "place", and having the same origin as the Sanskrit word ''sthān'' and the English word "stand") results in ''Hindustan'', "land of Hind". By about the first century BC, the term "Hein-tu" was used by the Chinese to refer to North Indian people.〔"Khotanese Texts, Volume 7", p. 23, by Harold Walter Bailey〕〔"Foreign Influence on Ancient India", by Krishna Chandra Sagar, p. 6〕 The term came into common use under the rule of the Mughals, who referred to their dominion, centered on Delhi, as 'Hindustan'.
