The name Pakistan (IPA:
[paːkɪst̪aːn]) means
Land of (the)
Pure in
Urdu and
Persian (Farsi). It was coined in 1934 as Pakstan by
Choudhary Rahmat Ali, who published it in his pamphlet
Now or Never.
[9] The name represented the "thirty million Muslims of PAKISTAN, who live in the five Northern Units of
British Raj —
Punjab,
Afghania (also known as North-West Frontier Province),
Kashmir,
Sindh, and
Balochistan."
