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.
