Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The term “Hindustan” did not carry the political and national meanings earlier that are associated with it today.
Minhaj-i-Siraj, a Persian writer who wrote in the thirteenth century, used the term to refer to the regions of Punjab, Haryana, and the plains between the Ganga and Yamuna. For territories that were under the control of the Delhi Sultan, he used the word in a political sense. Babur used Hindustan at the beginning of the sixteenth century to describe the topography, flora, and culture of the people who lived on the subcontinent.
