Redirect request: Etymology of the East Pakistan, (1947-1971)

This request has been declined. Please do not modify it.
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.

Redirect request: Etymology of Jammu/Vallapura (AJK)

This request has been declined. Please do not modify it.
Target of redirect: Azad Kashmir#Name Reason: Modern Jammu region of “Occupied Kashmir” is named after Babbapura (modern Babor) this area is mentioned in بابر نامہ/Baburnama. Hence the Islamic name “Vallapura”. At the time of 1947 Indian partition, the whole Jammu province as a separate administrative region had a 61.19% Muslim-majority census respectively.2A00:23C5:8D98:E201:30DC:16BD:E789:F686 (talk) Source (if applicable): https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/The_Great_Mughals_and_their_India/40ywDAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0 2A00:23C5:8D98:E201:30DC:16BD:E789:F686 (talk) 17:22, 11 December 2021 (UTC) Declined.

Redirect request: Etymology of Ladakh (Northern Pakistan)

This request has been declined. Please do not modify it.
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.

Redirect request: Etymology of Kashmiristan

This request has been declined. Please do not modify it.
Target of redirect: Kashmir Valley#Etymology Reason: The Nilamata Purana describes the Valley's origin from the waters, a fact corroborated by prominent geologists, and shows how the very name of the land was derived from the process of desiccation - Ka means "water" and Shimir means "to desiccate". Hence, Kashmir stands for "a land desiccated from water". There is also a theory which takes Kashmir to be a contraction of Kashyap-mira or Kashyapmir or Kashyapmeru, the "Sea or Mountain of Kashyapa", the sage who is credited with having drained the waters of the primordial Lake Satisar, that Kashmir was before it was reclaimed. The Nilamata Purana gives the name Kashmira to the (Kashmir Valley includes the Wular Lake) Mira" which means the sea lake or the mountain of Sage Kashyapa. Mira in Sanskrit means Ocean or boundary, considering it to be an embodiment of Uma and it is the Kashmir that the world knows today. The Kashmiris, however, call it Kashir, which has been derived phonetically from Kashmir. The Ancient Greeks called it as Kasperia. Kashyapa-pura, which has been identified with Kaspapyros of Hecataeus (apud Stephanus of Byzantium) and Kaspatyros of Herodotus (3.102, 4.44); In classical literature Herodotus also called it Kaspatyrol. Kashmir is also believed to be the country meant by Ptolemy's Kaspeiria. Xuanzang, the Chinese monk who visited Kashmir in 631 AD called it Kia-shi-mi-lo, the Tibetans called it Khachal, meaning "snowy mountain". It is and has been a land of rivers, lakes and wildflowers. Cashmere is an archaic spelling of present-Kashmir, and in some countries it is still spelled this way. A tribe of Semitic origin, named Kash (which means a deep slash in the native dialect), is believed to have founded the cities of Kashan and Kashgar, not to be confused with the Kashyapi tribe from Caspian. The land and the people were known as 'Kashir' from which 'Kashmir' was also derived from therein.

Redirect request: Saarland at the Olympics

This request has been accepted. Please do not modify it.
Target of redirect: Saar at the 1952 Summer Olympics Reason: This is meant as an alternate form of Saar at the Olympics, which redirects here. Saarland is the present state of Germany, and Saar Protectorate was the entity that competed at the Olympics in 1952, but it's easy to forget which is which. Also, the article begins with the phrase The National Olympic Committee (NOC) of the Saarland, so apparently "Saarland" was sometimes used to refer to this entity at the time.
