Hindustan | Country &Facts

Hindustan (Persian:"land of the Indus") also spelled Hindusthan , historically the North Indian subcontinent - as opposed to Deccan , the southern part of the Indian subcontinent. This area can be specifically identified as the basin of the five Punjab rivers and the upper indo-getanian level . A largely fertile and well-populated corridor between mountain, desert and sea walls, Hindustan is considered the seat of power in South Asia , which contains most of the wealth and physical energy. The name Hindustan is sometimes used to refer to the country "north of the Vindhya Range “. It is also occasionally used as a synonym for the entire Indian subcontinent.
