From sindhu to hindu . It became hindustan Hindu is not a religion. We belong to Sanatan Dharma. Muslim or arab rulers mispronounced sindhu as hindu. Then Britishers continued the same term. Then it came on official records. So it is continuing as hindustan And sindu comes from the people living near sindhu (Indus) river. People of indus valley civilization Earlier the name was Bharata. Bha means Bhav Ra means Raag Ta means taal The country who hv understood the bhav (expression ) of universe and knows the perfect raag ( to match individual expression with the expression of universe ). Bcz then only the life will dance ( taal ) effortlessly. For this whole thing we can use the word Sanskara.

In the thirteenth century the term "Hindustan" meant the areas of Punjab, Haryana and the lands between the Ganga and Yamuna. The term was used in the political sense for lands that were a part of the dominions of the Delhi Sultan. The areas included in this term shifted with the extent of the Sultanate but the term never included south India. In the early sixteenth century Babur used Hindustan to describe the geography, the fauna and the culture of the inhabitants of the subcontinent. While the idea of a geographical and cultural entity like 'India' did exist, the term "Hindustan" did not carry the political and national meanings which we associate with it today. Today we understand the term "Hindustan" as "India", the modern nation-state.
