Meaning of "Pakistan"
The name PAKISTAN was derived from Muslim-majority regions:
- P → Punjab
- A → Afghania (North-West Frontier Province, now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa)
- K → Kashmir
- S → Sindh
- TAN → from Baluchistan/Balochistan together with the Persian suffix "-stan" (meaning "land").
- Note: Historians explain that "TAN" is not only the suffix "-stan". It also incorporates the ending of Baluchistan. So it is slightly more precise to write:"TAN → from Baluchistan together with the Persian suffix '-stan'."
