Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Hindustan" in English language version.
At partition, the Muslim League tried, unsuccessfully, to convince the British that the two independent countries should be called Hindustan and Pakistan but neither the British nor the Congress gave in to this demand. It is important to note that Jinnah and the majority of the Pakistani policy-makers have often referred to independent India as "Hindustan," as an affirmation of the two nation theory.
"Hindustan," or the land of the Hindus, is another Hindi name for India.
