The term 'Hindustan' has changed over the centuries in the following ways:

  1. For the first time, in the 13th century, Minhaj-i-Siraj used the term ‘Hindustan’. By ‘Hindustan’ he meant the areas of Punjab, Haryana and the land between Ganga and Yamuna rivers.
  2. The poet Amir Khusrau used this term in his poems in the 14th century.
  3. In the 16th century, Babur used the term to describe the geography, the fauna and the culture of the inhabitants of the subcontinent.
  4. Important point is that the term ‘Hindustan’ did not carry the political and national meanings as we use it today.
