Southworth suggests that the name Sindhu is in turn derived from Cintu, a Dravidian word for date palm, a tree commonly found in Sindh.[4][5]

The previous spelling "Sind" (from the Perso-Arabic سند) was discontinued in 1988 by an amendment passed in Sindh Assembly,[6] and is now spelt "Sindh."

  • Target of redirect: East Pakistan#Etymology
  • Reason: Chaudhry Rehmat Ali, who did not include Bengal in the coined word PAKISTAN, did create a state among many in India in his book Now or Never pamphlet (1933). He called Bengal ‘Bang-e-Islam’ (call to prayer of Islam) and included all of Bengal, West Bengal too. Bengal was a Muslim-majority province. Although he had punned on the word. To Common Pakistanis it was called Oriental Pakistan or alternatively Islamically as Bangalistan. The word Mashriqi implies as Eastern. Kazim, in his book of reviews, Kal ki Baat (Readings Lahore, 2010), tells us that Aurangzeb’s minister Abul Fazl had opined that Bangla was actually Bangal and that ‘al’ in it meant enclosure. Today, ‘aal’ is taken to mean home, from a sense of ‘outer wall making an enclosure’, in which to extent what is exactly present-day Bangla-Desh is today respectively.[1]

  • Target of redirect: Baltistan#Etymology
  • Reason: "Ladakh" the Farsi transliteration of the Tibetan La-dvags; which means ("Land of High Passes") on the borderland of extreme Pakistan and China that connected the Ancient Silk trade route (CPEC). Ladakh has been described as 'The Mysterious Land of the Mystic Lamas', 'The Broken Moonland', or 'The Last Shangri-La' for its unique landscape and exquisite culture. One sees no horizon here but only mountain peaks soaring up to 5 to 6 km high, the River Indus, the “National River of Pakistan” runs through this Indus Valley Region of Pakistan (IVR), Occupied by India, since 1947. In the prehistoric period Ladakh formed a Great Lake perhaps the last remnants of the Ancient Tethys Sea, when India was a full continent. Even at present the region has some of the largest and most beautiful fresh water lakes, Pangong and the Tsomoriri lakes. It is a repository of indigenous myriad cultural and religious influences from Tibet, Indian subcontinent and Turanian Central Asia respectively. The region was previously known as Maryul. [1]
