Etymology
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  -stānresults 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.
