Not every Indian is a Gangadeshi. I am not a Gangadeshi.
But you answer to the nation centred around the gangetic plains, not the nation built around the Indus. Hence you are willing to be incorporated into the gangetic nation. You fall under their jurisdiction. You're not under the jurisdiction of the Indus plains. Do you not yourself realise that you have far less reason to be "Indian" and you have far more reason to be "Gangu"?

You Hindustani just don't seem to understand the geography of India.

It's up to us right about what we should be called. We don't want to be called 'Gangu'. Should we decided for instance, what Pakistanis should be called? No, right?

Hindustan is a reasonable name for the modern republic of India. It is still distinct from Pakistan, even if you use that name.

Just because some Buddhists and Hindus once lived in coterminous Pakistan, that doesn't make it part of "Hindustan" or "India". This is part of the hindutva fraud. What has a pashtun tribe got to do with the river Ganga or the government of the republic of India sitting in Delhi. Neither the modern state of India/Hindustan, nor the ancient world gangetic tribes are connected to the majority of Pakistanis. We live off the river Indus. In fact, we are India. You lot are Hindustan or Gangadesh.

Then please explain why it's an insult for any Indians to be associated with hinduism's sacred river. There is a contradiction here that warrants explanation by representatives of the Hindu rashtra - whether overt hindutva or "moderate" "secular" "Indians".

When I use the term "Gangadeshi" or its derivatives, there is no malice or negative inflection. Judge each situation on its context. Likewise, "jihadi" isn't necessarily an insult. Again, context is what matters. That was the example i referred to earlier hence I will use it again here.

Now if you wish me to desist from using Ganga and its derivatives in a purely descriptive manner, you need to explain why it is inaccurate as a geographical or geopolitical descriptor for India's people.

Again, I reiterate, I'm not talking about the term when used in a malicious context - certainly that should be banned and that is a case based assessment.

When we have the words 'India', 'Hindustan', 'Bharat', there's no need for the use of 'Gangadesh'. There's no official word called 'Gangadesh'.

Really? Are you sure?

It's up to the mods/you people to decide whether 'jihadi' as a word is an insult in this forum or not. We are not deciding it for you.

Why should I explain anything to you? We Indians don't want the usage of 'Gangadesh' on the forum. We Indians will decide that, right? Maybe we can take a poll among ourselves.

I certainly don't want 'Gangadesh' as a word to be used.

Well, I think it's used as a slur here but assume if you had heard it from someone else, say an Indian would it be an offence or not?

For me, it's still an offence even if fellow Indians use it. There are Pakistani posters with fake Indian identities who won't hesitate to use it all day long.
 
And the Gangu is not descriptive at all - a Haryanvi has nothing in common with a Bengali. Just because we share a river, it doesn't mean we are similar.

BTW, Haryana was a part of undivided Punjab but a Gangu river (Yamuna) flows through it, is it Ganguland or not?

It was in fact the Hindu/Congress press that dubbed the 1940 Lahore Resolution as 'Pakistan' resolution/conspiracy. We gladly accepted ... We find nothing wrong in our lands being called 'land of the pure' by our enemies... Isn't Ganga considered a sacred river in Hinduism? Why would a Hindu feel offended when he is associated with something they consider sacred and holy? ... We are the people of Indus, why do you insist on identifying yourself with the people who have nothing in common with you, and with the land that doesn't belong to you?

Punjab was a Muslim majority territory and it belongs to us.. Haryana and Himachal included
