Indians called India Hindustan in Hindi

What about the phrase "Hindustan Zindabad"? Can you say "Bharat Zindabad" instead?
>However, in poetry and songs, Hindustan is used.
Why?

I think "Hindustan" is not really used at all, would be like saying that the UK is called "Albion", maybe it is sometimes if you want to evoke some weird archaic poetic sense but that's it

There's plenty of options, take your pick currymonkey.

It is very much used. Especially in songs and poetry. India is very Persiaboo and we constantly write songs which are like half Hindi half Persian, much like how English and Americans use French as a way to show class.

A very popular patriotic song goes, "Saare Jahan se Accha, Hindustan hamara..." (Greater than any nation in the world, is our Hindustan)

Another popular patriotic song romanticising the Sino-Indian war of 1962, goes: "Jo Khoon Gira sarhad pe, woh Khoon tha Hindustani" (The blood that was shed on the mountain top, that blood was Hindustani)

The national chant, "Hindustan Zindabaad" (Long live Hindustan!)

The local subsidiary of Unilever is called Hindustan Unilever.

Zindabad in itself is a persian word. There are two popular chants

1) Hindustan Zindabad (Long live India)
2) Bharat Mata ki Jai (Glory to Mother India)

1) used to be more popular in past but 2) is increasingly taking over now.

You can't separate Muslim Influence.

I thought Indians hated Mughals and the Muslim domination period. Why do you guys like Persian culture?

Also, wasn't Hindi actually purged of Persian words and those words replaced with Sanskrit equivalents at some point?
2) Bharat Mata ki Jai (Glory to Mother India)
Comfy

India comes from the Indus River.

They're cucks in denial. They will always say kitab

>They will always say kitab
What?

The word for book. kitab is an arabic word. There were attempts to get people to say the native version but that failed

Imagine being so insecure about something that you spend a minute writing shit that not more than 20 people will read. No normal person does that. Are you a Pakistani by any chance? Only they would care so much.

North India got arabised after 600 years of Muslim occupation.

>In the first flush of independence ‘Bharat’ would seem preferable, because the word ‘India’ was too redolent of colonial disparagement. It also lacked a respectable indigenous pedigree. For although British claims to have incubated an ‘India consciousness’ were bitterly contested, there was no gainsaying the fact that in the whole colossal corpus of Sanskrit literature nowhere called ‘India’ is ever mentioned; nor does the term occur in Buddhist or Jain texts; nor was it current in any of South Asia’s numerous other languages. Worse still, if etymologically ‘India’ belonged anywhere, it was not to the republic proclaimed in Delhi by Nehru but to its rival headed by Mohammed Ali Jinnah in Pakistan.

>Partition would have a way of dividing the subcontinent’s spoils with scant reference to history. Pakistan inherited the majority of the main Harappan sites, so depriving India of the most tangible proof of its vaunted antiquity. Conversely, India inherited most of the subcontinent’s finest Islamic architecture, so depriving Muslim Pakistanis of what they regard as their own glorious heritage. No tussle over the word ‘India’ is reported because Jinnah preferred the newly coined and very Islamic-sounding acronym that is ‘Pakistan’. Additionally, he was under the impression that neither state would want to adopt the British title of ‘India’. He only discovered his mistake after Lord Mountbatten, the last British viceroy, had already acceded to Nehru’s demand that his state remain ‘India’. Jinnah, according to Mountbatten, ‘was absolutely furious when he found out that they were going to call themselves India’.1 The use of the word implied a subcontinental primacy which Pakistan would never accept. It also flew in the face of history, since ‘India’ originally referred exclusively to territory in the vicinity of the Indus river. Hence it was largely outside the republic of India but largely within Pakistan.

Purging entire perso-arabic vocab is foolish, I mean it's easier to say 'dil' instead of 'hridhay'. Just remove words which aren't necessary and ones which are can remain. Everyday spoke hindi contains roughly 15% foreign vocab. This is similar to English, spoken english consists of some 20% french vocab. However difference occurs in the high speech. Pure hindi is barely 1% foreign whereas pure english is at least 40% foreign.

>occupation.
they brought civilization

Nah

Yes, but I would think after independence there would be pushback

What about "Dravidarya"? It's a cool sounding name that reconciles both groups of India

>Dravidarya
That sounds badass desu

Pushback to what exactly? It would be just be some pathetic larping

>he doesnt think fucking goats is civilization

So pakis hate hindus or indians in general?
