Hindu Sita Hamara Jay Hind-Modi Lao Desh Bachao

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[3]), hence Modern Persian Hind, Hindū. This combined with the Iranic suffix -stān results in Hindustan, "land of the Hindus". By about 1st century BC, the term "Hein-tu" was used by Chinese, for referring to North Indian people.[4][5] The term came into common use under the rule of the Mughals who referred to their dominion, centered on Delhi, as 'Hindustan'.
