Hindustan

Hindustan is a Muslim Kannada monarchy, a formable country representing a unified India under native Muslim rule, located in the India subcontinent, of the Asia continent. Despite the name, only Muslim states may form it (Hind is the Persian name for India, from Avestan Hapta Hindu, so "Hindu" is an ethnic identifier, not a religious one. -stan means place/land in Persian). Hindu states may form Bharat instead, while Central Asian Muslims may form the Mughal Empire. Hindustan retains the national ideas of its founding nation.

Called "Hindustan" on-file.

Strategy[]

Continuation of the Pakistan and Bangladesh strategy:

As Hindustan you have a lot, and I mean a lot of manpower. Conquering most countries will be easy, unless you start in the Present Day. China will be your biggest threat by far, this however, does not mean that they are impossible to defeat. Absorbing countries in the Middle East and in Southeast Asia will give you a greater supply of manpower, and an alliance with Russia would be the most beneficial in defeating China.
