It really does not matter who coined it, when & with what motive.

I have read posts here where ppl grudge the name Indian Ocean !

Its the mindset that shows. Civilisations developed along rivers - Nile, Tigris/ Euphrates/ Indus/ Ganges and so on and were known as such.

Do you know Punjabi and dialects of Hindi have a common origin from Shauraseni Prakrit. If they were indeed a different people, I can't understand how the people of speaking a common language for thousands of years.

Shauraseni language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Was there anything called Pakistani Civilization before 1947 ?

As far as I know -

The name was coined by Cambridge student and Muslim nationalist Choudhary Rahmat Ali and was published on January 28, 1933 in the pamphlet Now or Never. He saw it as an acronym formed from the names of the "homelands" of Muslims in northwest India — P for Punjab, A for the Afghan areas of the region, K for Kashmir, S for Sindh and tan for Balochistan, thus forming "Pakstan". An i was later added to the English rendition of the name to ease pronunciation, producing "Pakistan". In Urdu and Persian the name encapsulates the concept of "pak" ("pure") and "stan" ("land") and hence a "Pure Land".

Have you ever read the poems of Allama Iqbal, he takes great pride in being an Indian Muslim and even give references from Islamic Hadiths to express his love for being a proud Indian. Here is one of them.

Allama Iqbal Poetry کلام علامہ محمد اقبال: (Bang-e-Dra-042) Hindustani Bachon Ka Qaumi Geet

(Bang-e-Dra-042) Hindustani Bachon Ka Qaumi Geet


Hindustani Bachon Ka Qoumi Geet
The National Anthem For The Indian Children



Chishti (R.A.) Ne Jis Zameen Mein Pegham-e-Haq Sunaya
Nanak Ne Jis Chaman Mein Wahdat Ka Geet Gaya

The land in which Chishti delivered the message of God
The garden in which Nanak sang the song of Tawhid of God


Tatariyon Ne Jis Ko Apna Watan Banaya
Jis Ne Hijaziyon Se Dast-e-Arab Chhuraya

The land which the Tatars adopted as their homeland
For which people of Hijaz abandoned the Arabian wilderness


Mera Watan Wohi Hai, Mera Watan Wohi Hai

That same is my homeland, that same is my homeland


Yunanion Ko Jis Ne Heeran Kar Diya Tha
Sare Jahan Ko Jis Ne Ilm-o-Hunar Diya Tha

Whose wisdom had left the Greeks bewildered
Which gave knowledge and skill to the entire world


Mitti Ko Jis Ki Haq Ne Zr Ka Asar Diya Tha
Turkon Ka Jis Ne Daman Heeron Se Bhar Diya Tha

Whose soil had been endowed by God with the elixir’s effect
Which had filled the pocket of the Turks with diamonds


Mera Watan Wohi Hai, Mera Watan Wohi Hai

That same is my homeland, that same is my homeland


Toote The Jo Stare Faras Ke Asman Se
Phir Taab De Ke Jis Ne Chamkaye Kehkashan Se

Which illuminated and established in the milky way again
The stars which had fallen from the sky of Persia


Wahdat Ki Laiy Suni Thi Dunya Ne Jis Makan Se
Meer-e-Arab (S.A.W.) Ko Aayi Thandi Hawa Jahan Se

The House from which the world had heard Tawhid’s tune
From where the Holy Prophet had felt cool breeze


Mera Watan Wohi Hai, Mera Watan Wohi Hai

That same is my homeland, that same is my homeland


Bande Kaleem Jis Ke, Parbat Jahan Ke Seena
Nooh (A.S.)-e-Nabi Ka Aa Kar Thehra Jahan Safeena

Whose denizens are Kaleems, whose mountains the Sinais are
Where the Prophet Nuh’s boat and its occupants had landed


Riffat Hai Jis Zameen Ki Baam-e-Falak Ka Zeena
Jannat Ki Zindagi Hai Jis Ki Faza Mein Jeena

The land whose elegance is the stairway to the sky
Living in whose environment is like living in Paradise


Mera Watan Wohi Hai, Mera Watan Wohi Hai

That same is my homeland, that same is my homeland.
