Hey everyone! Sorry about the lack of video last Tuesday but we're back! Thank you for all the get well messages too
Name Explain On 1:18 you called Hindu Hindi, I'm on phone & I've checked the description & there's no correction, same for making pure prue, please correct this mistake & get well soon.
Pat correct 1:18 you may get a lot of backlash
Maybe you should make a collaboration with "Well...Actually". He already made some videos about the "-stan" countries.
Name Explain
Some things you got wrong:-
Hindus and Muslims lived in Indian Subcontinent for hundreds of years like brothers.
It's HINDUS not HINDI. Hindu is a religious and Hindi is a language.How hard is it to understand.
K2 is officially part of India under the instrument of annexation of Kashmir. You know what I mean.
And West Punjab pre partition was a Hindu majority state.
Your first analogy of the name is not correct as Kashmir was a independent kindom till 1947.
#NO NEED TO START ABUSING ME ON THIS COMMENT IT'S WHAT WE LEARN IN INDIA#
Get well soon Mate
Hindi are you mad?
It's Hindu
Fun Fact: The name "Blighty", which refers to Britain, has its roots in the Bengali language word "Bilayati", meaning foreign, this is because when the East India Company got Monopoly trading rights in Bengal, they noticed that the locals called British goods "Bilayati" and assumed that it was their name for Britain.
PS Hindu refers to the followers of the religion followed by 80% of Indians, Hindi is a dialect continuum of languages than are spoken in Northern India, with the Khariboli dialect serving as the lingua franca, and its Urdu, not Urdi, and its not an Iranian language, its Indo-Aryan, otherwise great video.
In turn, The word vilayat/bilayat in many Indo-Aryan languages (Not just bengali) originates from the Arabic word 'wilayah' which means State/province.
youcometome9 In Bengali that word is pronounced more like "Bee-let-ee" (cuz Bengali doesn't have a w/v sound) (বিলেতি), and probably this sounds closer to "Blighty".
Prakhar Tiwari blyaty
I thought it had something to do with blyat

It's "Hindu" not "Hindi"
moroccan geographer LOL HE SAID HINDI!
Hindu is the religion, Hindi the nationality. Dumb.
moroccan geographer I know, I am laughing that he said hindi instead. I request an apology at once for your insult.
Well, I didn't insult you. I insulted that dumb error from our etymologist.
moroccan geographer Excuse me.
1:18 it is hindu not hindi,hindi is a language and hindu is a religion.
No actually the original name of the said religion is ''dharma''. hindu is still an ethnic identify even if still misused as a religious one.
User Account it's Sanathan dharma
User Account but in today’s society if you ask a follower of sanatan dharma then they would most likely say i am a hindu

Hahah I'm from Pakistan and although I knew about this already, it's fascinating to put it that way. An acronym and a pun. It's quite brilliant actually!
Talha Saleem I have never heard of where the name of Pakistan came from before and it is quite brilliant XD This will be a nice fun fact that I can share with the family on holidays. On a side note that is a very rude thing to say Yobby.

Why do people sometimes call the UK Blightey?
The name "Blighty", which refers to Britain, has its roots in the Bengali language word "Bilayati", meaning foreign, this is because when the East India Company got Monopoly trading rights in Bengal, they noticed that the locals called British goods "Bilayati" and assumed that it was their name for Britain.
I've been mulling over this vid for a while, glad to hear people are interested in it :D
'Bilayati' most probbaly comes from term Vilayati, which is used even in pakistan to denote foreign world(vilayet) or foreigner(vilayeti).
The term "vilayat" is actually an Arabic one. which comes from word "waali"(governer). So Vilayat basically means "a governorate" or "an administrative division".
Prakhar Tiwari who?
I only know the nicknames "Britian", "Great Britian" and "England". Like when I say "Norhern England" and everyone starts thinking about Scotland, while I'm actually tlaking about the northern part of England.

Here is some fun trivia about the "stan" suffix. Hebrew as you might know is a "revived" language so a lot of the vocabulary is relatively new and coined by Eliezer Ben Yehuda, who spear-headed this revival. so the name he came up with for the word "garden" is בוסתן (pronounced boo-stan). Taking בשם (pronounced bossem) meaning perfume, and borrowing the suffix from Farsi, and combining the two to mean "place of perfume".
2:25 its urdu language not urdi

A couple of unfortunate spelling errors but a great video nonetheless. :)
Genji Shimada i need healing
Nothing wrong with being the land of the "Prue"
Hindi is not a religion
Great video! Just one more thing to add: The suffix "-stan" probably comes from Proto-Indo-Iranian language, given that Persian has "stan", and Sanskrit has "sthān", both meaning the exact same thing "place". It's equivalent to the "-land" or "-ia" suffix in names of many western places.
"stan" was never an Urdu word, it was just a Persian word.
Reasonable it came in urdu from hindi and in turn from sanskrit.
Sanskrit word is "sthaan "
Many Urdu vocabulary came from persian,arabic,turkish, so yeah staan came from persian and persian was the official language of mughal empire who rule the whole of subcontinent before Britishers
Urdu kinda originated from Persian so... Yee
@@extremedreams2019 No it didn't. It's nearly identical to Hindi
@IBrainedMyDamage I'm not talking about the word Urdu, I'm talking about the language itself. I speak Urdu, but I can easily understand people who speak in Hindi because the language is basically the same
Cool glad to see a video on Pakistan
Thanks
Why don’t you believe in Christianity
Stan= Persian equivalent of German word Land. Finland Poland Deutschland England etc
Poland is Polen in german though...
"Stan" is Persian descended from PIE, not sanskrit. "Stan" means city/town in Slavic Languages.
AJ Ace A-N ...stan is a sanskrit word means place..well...sanskrit and persian both language are aryan language..
Nikolas De Moulin. No, actually Iranian and indian languages are not descended from european language. All of them came from a common language, Proto-Indo-European Language (PIE), somewhere around the Caspian and Black Sea during Neolithic. This hypothesis is not new and what linguist today believe in.
German word land?
Regardless of what you think about the creation of Pakistan you have to be honest and say that a unpartition India would have been a non viable state it would have gone into Civil War straight away. Plus India would have to deal with the border tension with Afghanistan. If didn't exist Pakistan chances are Bengal nationalism being far stronger. I personally believe India benefited from the partition more than Pakistan. Again this is my opinion
1:19 A correction. It should be Hindu, not Hindi. An adherent of Hinduism is called a Hindu, while Hindi is a language (and sometimes used to refer to native Hindi speakers). A name for India in Hindi is "Hindustan", literally "land of the Hindus" (even though 20% of the Indian population belong to religious minorities).
As an Indian, I'd always wondered what does Pakistan mean. The etymology is pretty interesting though.
Hindu in Hindustan is not referring to Hindus (Hinduism) but Hindu in Persian means all indians. All indians are Hindus in Persian
Nobody cares
Who gives a fuck lmao
"Pak" means "Pure/Clean" and "Stan" means "Land", thus Pak(i)stan = Land of Pure!

Read history, kid
Wait, if Pakistan was named after the areas in the northwest of India, why did Bangladesh join Pakistan until their own independence in 1971? Were the Muslim Bengalis really keen on joining Pakistan back then, even though the name Pakistan has no room for them?

Al' zanimljivo je što taj koren reči Chorb sličan (ako ne isti) korenu reči Sorb. U mnogim jezicima je S zamenilo H. Kao sent (cent, latinski 100) i hent (hundred, engleski 100). Ili Hind i Sind, za reku.

India isn't derived from Hindi or Urdu
Quite ironic that "Choudhary Rehmat Ali"... so proudly kept displaying his #Hindu heritage by maintaining "Choudhary" surname, which is a Hindu caste. The word "Choudhary" is a Sanskrit word.
A 100 years ago.. Pakistan literally did not exist in anyone's consciousness.
It's always nice when acronyms, puns, and the like secure an unexpected place in history.
"-stans" are indeed very interesting. In Russia everyone assumes that local people in Dagestan are "dagestani" or "dag" by nationality (like in Tatarstan or Bashkortostan), while there are actually many nations and languages, and the name "Dagestan" comes from turkic "dağ" (mountain), not from an ethnonym. I heard from my linguist friend that one of his local respondents in a field expedition to Archib said "In my village I'm Archi, in Makhachkala I'd be Avar, in Moscow I'd be Dagestani and in America I'd be Russian".
Its Hindu not Hindi and in the start Bangladesh also used to be a part of Pakistan
If you think of it, most countries are fairly new like America, Germany, Italy, most African countries and even India as there was no entity called India before the British.
Perhaps the "I" of Pak-i-stan was added in for linguistic purposes. In Arabic, three consonants are never allowed to occur consecutively. Many loanwords from other languages will be given an extra vowel in order to follow traditional Arabic phonology. While I don't know anything about Urdu linguistic rules, I wonder if it shares this same quirk as Arabic.
In Pakistan, the Afghan Province is called Khyber Panthukwa
My favorite thing in Pakistan is a flight that leaves Pakistan.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO I LOVE YOU
Also, Jinnah according to Mountbatten, “was absolutely furious when he found out that they (Nehru and the Congress Party) were going to call themselves India”.
Source: India: A History. - By John Keay.
Yeah because the name was supposed to be Hindustan so both countries could take it's(British India's) place at the UN but because of that Pakistan was pushed out of a lot of stuff.Also it was an attempt to discredit Pakistan and it's history.
Why does this video feel so familiar? Is it a reupload or something? Did you mention some of these things in another video? Did another channel do a video on the same subject? Or am I just having a massive déjà vu experience?
great video, and actually India should be called Hindustan not India, because India was named after Indus river which is in Pakistan now
imdus river tributaries still originated from india. if India stop the water of ravi, beas, sutlez, zhelum, Chennab then Indus river will be dried and Pakistan become a desert.
and Indus valley civilization was a hindu civilization. so nothing wrong with the name India.
Pakistan will remain till the end of the world InshaAllah! However, India is a fake nation made by Britishers. Note that there was NO Indian Nation before Britons rather so many empires were there with their completely different govt systems!
Jdm Pakistan.. Lol... India is here more than 5000 years. Islamic state of Pakistan was created 70 years ago. The concept of Pakistan came Allama Iqbal's presidential address to the Muslim League on 29 December 1930. If you don't know history then don't comment here.
You're the one who don't know the actual history! India as a nation is a modern concept. There were numerous empires in this particular region like mughals marhatas Sikhs Durranis Rajputs and those all have completely different way of govt. Britishers forcefully amalgamated all the 'different princely states' and named them British India so that they could rule on them easily.
Jdm Pakistan.. Yeah.. When British came India was mainly divided by 3 empires mughal empire, maratha empire, sikh empire but before it india was united under Mayura empire.ashoka expanded the empire from Afghanistan to Myanmar to srilanka. So you'll see ashoka Chakra in the middle of the Indian flag.
Perfect vid 🤘
Subbed because of it
Just to clarify
The region which constitute Pakistan was never part of region of now modern India but was the region of Indus valley civilization
But was forcefully annexed into British India
Ifraz Ali Punjab and sindh were part of india.... Peshawar was given by the britishers and Baloch areas were later captured by Punjabi invading army.
Ifraz Ali Pakistan was never one country with same culture and same goes for India..... Pakistan and India both United in the name of religion.
Manosh Biswas
Sindh also was not part of Modern Indian Culture
Sindh and Baluchistan have almost same culture and People
The Punjab you are classifying as Indian is the inner Punjab of Pakistan around Lahore other parts of Punjab like Uch and Multan don't have modern Indian culture same goes for North western Punjab which has more to do with KpK
The Pakhtuns Central Asians and Iranians have always been part of this region so Afghana is part of this region as other regions Like Baluchistan and Sindh
So historically Pakistani region has always been connected but not as a single nation like today based on religion but by common culture and customs
Ifraz Ali Even Indians don't have common culture so what?..I was speaking in terms of the religious sense of culture and not the culture pertaining to ethnicity.... Punjabis have there own distinct culture but also the Islamic culture which got integrated to their society... And the same goes for Sindhis.... We have many Sindhi and Punjabi Hindus living in india... Yes they have their own distinct culture same as Bengalis, Gujaratis, Marathi , etc.. But that doesn't change the fact that they are also Hindus and their culture is Hindu culture.... Pakistani Punjabis and Sindhis are also Hindu converts which makes them part of Indian subcontinent.... And even Bangladesh is part of India..... I ain't talking about modern culture of Pakistan.... Even I know what Pakistan is today......
Ifraz Ali Pakistan has never had same culture.... And the same goes for India... It's only religious culture which is the same.... Not culture pertaining to ethnicity.... Even India is the same..... Only religion has bonded all the ethnicities together... In Pakistan it is Islam and in india it is Hinduism.... That doesn't mean all Pakistanis share the same culture or all Indians share the same culture.... But yes they share the same religious culture.......
1:17 Hindi is a language! The Religion in HinDU!

K-2 is in PAKISTAN . ONLY and only in PAKISTAN also PAKISTAN ZINDABAD
K2 also lies partially in China in the Shaksgam Valley of Kashmir which was gifted to China by Pakistan in 1963.
Muslims before the Partition were not concentrated in the northwestern part of India as indicated, they were spread out all over the subcontinent and there were Muslim-ruled nation states in the south as well. And Hindus were spread out even in the northwest. That’s why the Partition was so difficult with people having to migrate over both sides of the new border.
all of the so called Stans, are west-constructed countries, they were culturally and historically a part of Iran and the cultural realm of the Persian culture and language. (except of Pakistan)
most of the stans (especially the post soviet ones) are barely western constructed at all. And not all of the Stans are culturally Persian, most of the Stans are culturally Turkic
Ian McQuestionable
Turco-Persian we can say!

Sorry to say but it's the most messy video I've seen of yours so far with butchering all the names of languages and religions. Followers of Hinduism are called Hindu and not Hindi. The national language of Pakistan is Urdu and not Urdi. I'm sorry if it's disrespectful but I've been a long time fan of your channel and didn't expect this from you.
Nitish Saxena oh suck it up, at least he tried. Like you could do any better?
OTC Studios my comment wasn't meant to be in a bad taste, it's just a disappointment of an Indian fan who was thrilled when he saw India as a subject of the video.
Nitish Saxena The subject wasn't about India, it was about the name of Pakistan.
@@OTCStudios why are you getting offended and triggered.
The video was a fucking mess. Whether you are Pakistani or Indian
I am new to this channel and I think it is educational and as such a keeper.
I am sorry but Hindus and Muslims can live together. India already has almost 300 million Muslims. Almost 40% of my friends a Muslim. I don't think I have any hostility against them. There may be some hostility against each other for but for the most part we are peaceful and get along. Is the British propaganda and which Indian sample relieving that Hindus and Muslims can't live together. To be honest Hindus are already secular but lot of effort is needed from the Muslim community in ensuring that the society remains secular and equal. The worst thing about Muslim is whenever they are in majority they want a country for themselves and to be ruled according to their rules and doesn't respect others.
Pakistan means 'land of the pure' , it was named so because hindus, sikhs and other religions are considered 'impure' in islam
As a Pakistani I already knew but still loved the video. What I love even more is the Pakistani map in the thumbnail. 👍👍👍
U must not have seen the India video then... LMAO.
Great video as always. Now let's wait for the stan video
Hindu not Hindi also Urdu not Urdi :/
1:15 that covers West Pakistan. There should be a second circle for East Pakistan. Also the map includes Burma, which was a separate colony at the time.

What about Bengal (Bangladesh) which was also a part of Pakistan?
Pakistan and India should unite! When I see muslims from places like Lebenon, Morocco, and Turkey - their conservative roots are so different than Pakistanis. When I talk to Indians from Hydrabad, Delhi, and even Tamilnadu I can totally see where Pakistanis get their religious conservative roots from. It's crazy
h4hashir Pakistan and India are not same. There is nothing in common between Pakistan and India. We Pakistansi are happy in Pakistan. We were never one to begin with. Even historically Pakistan was ruled from West not much from the East.
OMG ITS HINDU THE RELIGION AND HINDI THE LANGUAGE ITS NOT THAT HARD
1:24
The religion is Hindu, while the language is Hindi
Good question
Sthan/Stan has it’s roots from Sanskrit and Persian. Its has nothing to do with urdu. Btw urdu is 90% from Hindustani.
But it ain’t coming from ur Hindi
Sthan/Sthalam - sanskrit
Stan - persian
"Pakistan chai" was a movement which was popular then in Bangladesh(former undivided Bengal of British India) during 1940-1947. Hindu people was established in Bengali society who torture socially & economically. For the sake of getting rid from this, Bengali muslim people congratulate 'Pakistan Theory'.
For Creating pakistan as a country, British rulers gave a fair election throughout India. West pakistan's four muslim majority province denied 'Pakistan Theory' as Muslim league(a political party which supported pakistan theory)couldn't secure majority of assembly seats.But, In Undivided Bengal province, Muslim League got 119 out of 176 seats. which was a huge success.Then British Raj understood, Pakistan creation is crucial as a provice of India demand Pakistan. For Bengali Muslim people, 'Pakistan Theory' became reality.
BUT....!
Alas! who created & supported 'pakistan', They are now go by the term "Bangladeshi". AND , West pakistani made genocide on 1971 to Proud Bengali nation. Around 3 Million people died & 0.20 million women were raped by Pakistan Army whose Ammunition was bought from USA by our money .
Now, when i look to Liberation wars graveyard & killing field, Then i just reproach our leaders who then made dreaming to people an artificial country called "pakistan".
India map is wrong, you have only shown half of Kashmir as part of India.
Correct the map.
Also kashmir is not part of Pakistan.
Gareeb Scientist no it’s right half of Kashmir belongs to India and half belongs to Pakistan stop being dumb
Dino Fan I'm talking about Pakistan occupied Kashmir!
That's Indian territory.
Gareeb Scientist nope belongs to us did you know people in Kashmir wanted to join India but their king who was Hindu didn’t let them
Dino Fan that's a lie you being taught by your government.
Seeing the current economical state of Pakistan. No one will want to merge with Pakistan.
See baluchistan for example.
Dino Fan the king of kashmir was given a choice by the British to choose which country his kingdom wants to be a part of! He choose India. I guess the debate ends there

Pakistani Proud
Are u kidding me???
You guys of all people talk about defeating us ??? After getting your *ss busted more than twice...
Dont know if you are high or what so to answer ur question i don't have to even "THINK", i am quite sure about the results
Also im sure the car belongs to you but Kashmir doesn't so just know the difference
Then why was Bengal ever part of Pakistan?, They shound't have had it, would have saved a Genocide from racist nation land of "pure", (pure of what?, Non Muslims, Hindus?, Ahmadi?)
That's not the Pakistani map. Great video though.
yeah it is... wtf?
BLUX Kashmir part is missing
The map seems accurate including the amount of Kashmir controlled by Pakistan
I knew how Pakistan became a country but I didn't know why that name, it does sound pretty cool though for a country's name
Winterhold CoastGuard thank you much appreciated
Pakistan is not a new nation Pakistan more than 7000 years old in old ages it was none as Sindh as indus civilization it has oldest civilization in the world Mounjodaro as Sindh and Harpa as Punjab and Mehrgarh as Balochistan more than history of 7000 years oldest civilization in the world
Present day Pakistan follows a middle eastern culture (Islam) which has nothing to do with the great Indus valley civilization of India.
it might be a little harsh but when they got independent they called themselves as Pak (meaning pure) and Indians as Najes (meaning filthy in Persian, opposite of Pak, cause they were infidels in their eyes) so they called their country Pakistan; but if you are Indian and reading this don't let it get in to you cause I think they don't think like that anymore ,probably :)
Pakistan stands for = 'P' for "Punjab", 'A' for "Afghan province", 'K' for "Kashmir", 'I' for "Indus valley" and 'S' for "Sindh" and "Baluchistan" for 'stan'.
A Samuel only 30% Kashmir as the rest is with India....
Manosh Biswas the Radcliffe line proposed by the British according to the Mountbatten plan was never able to divide Kashmir on geographical bases. But was only divided by the politics of polarisation which we in India still face today... So we can never say what % of Kashmir belongs to us or to them. As far as this goes Kashmir as a whole should make up their mind. it's cent % or nothing at all...
What about Bangladesh and its provinces.
Because when Pakistan was created it majority was residing in east Pakistan. How the name can be of West part only?
Aslam Khan according to Chaudhary Rehmat Ali Sub Continent should be divided into two countries
