Why isn't Pakistan called India?

Pakistan is some sort of acronym created from five of its regions:

>(P)unjab
>(A)fghania
>(K)ashmir
>(S)indh
>Baluchis(tan)

Utter non-country.

I was taught that "Paki" meant "Pure" and Pakistan is therefore the land of the pures

It's like asking why finnland isn't called Sweden or why America isn't called England.

>>68001861
Blame Brits

Basically Indians civilization and Islamic civilization shifted East

So there's an identity crisis

You're legit retarded if you believe that.

Pakistan:
> Pak = Pure
> Stan = Land
> i = of

Land of the pure, because they believe the Indians are beneath them. Probably rightfully so.

Well I can confirm that "pak" means "clean" in Persian, but I got that acronym stuff from wikipedia and I trust wikipedia more than your twerps.

That's the reason why that acronym was chosen, but its etymology is based on the names of the provinces

>because they believe the Indians are beneath them. Probably rightfully so

it's the same as Kafiristan -> Nuristan. the Muslims just consider conversion from 'unbelief' to embracing Islam as enlightenment

>>68001861
Because it's the land of Pakis
