Re: "Hindustan" occupied Kashmir is not correct [split from World Affairs]
Hindustan has always been used in Urdu literature. I do'nt think ''Hindustan'' refers to only ''Hindu Community''. All the muslims felt pride in calling themselves ''Hindustani'' before partition. Look at the following, Pakistani National Poet Allama Iqbal says:
SARAY JAHAN SE ACHA HINDUSTAN HAMARA
HUM BULBALY HAIN IS KAY YEH GULISTAN HAMARA
