Hindustan or India?

When we talk about Pakistan it is the same name in Englsh, Hindi or Urdu or any other language. Also when we talk about America it is the same, and Spain and France and Germany and Switzerland and Japan and China and any other country. But when we speak about India it is either India or Hindustan. India is the name given to our country by the Englsih during their rule and we still continue using the same name. When we were given Independence two nations were formed namely Hindustan and Pakistan. The Pakistanis' took it well and are called Pakistanis the world over, but we Indians are called Indians and not Hindustanis. Would it not be right to keep one name (Hindustan) for our country?

Thanks for the Information. Yes Bharat also can be another option. But at the time of partition it was Hindustan and Pakistan. So Hindustan becomes a better option.

It rhymes well with the Hindu religion. The Pakistanis have their country and if we analize the work Pakistan it well means pious place "pak" "sthaan".

Guess what Egypt is called by the Arab speaking people? Egypt? Nope. Misr.

It is Bharat in Hindi and not Hindustan. But we are not the only country with different names in Anglican.

Here is an interesting discussion on the names of the country.

In India it is Bharat not Hindustan ...Bharat is the original name of our India

bharat was named for king bharat. hindustan was war persians bcoz there were only hindus here at that time. now i think india suits more as we have many religions in our country now.
