While reading the novel that I am reading now days, I was brought to an observation which never occurred to me before (Ya I am dumb sometimes :)), Pakistan actually means "Land of Pure" as Pak means Pure.
Which I think is quite an irony (at least nowadays) Pakistan and Land of Pure ????? But at the same time I think Pakistan with its meaning is a better name than Hindustan which only translates into Land of Hindus, literally Hindustan is quite an anti secular name.
At least both the neighbors have one similarity that none of them remained restricted to its name...rofl :)
If the above thoughts hurt somebodies sentiments, then it is purely coincidental and was not the intention of the author.
