What was Pakistan called before it was known as Pakistan?

In past Pakistan, India and Bangladesh were all joined together and this was known as sub-continent. But as all religions were different (Muslims & Hindus) so the people started a movement for freedom and a new nation. So after a long struggle Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah (founder of Pakistan) and Gandhi (Founder of India) agreed to separate on Aug. 14 1947 Pakistan was founded and on Aug. 15 1947.

During this time Bangladesh got separated a long time before the independence of both contries.

India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Burma, Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka were all part of British India before the Partition. However it was only called 'British India' when the British conquered the country during the colonial period. Prior to that it was known as 'Mahabharat' or 'Greater India'

Earlier India, Pakistan, Baluchistan all was known as Bharat, This is I am taking during the Ram Avatar, In fact after Shree Ram, Lav and Kush, Luv Luv was given all the territories - east of Ayodhya, and Kush was given west of Ayodhya. Two Sons of Bharat namely Pushya and Taksha joined with Kush. This is corroborated by history which says that Pushya founded a new city in the name of Pushyapur which over the centuries got the modem name Peshawar and Taksha founded a new city by the name Takshasila which at present is known as Taxila in the land from where their grandmother Kaikeyi hailed. She was the princess from highlands of Kekay now known as North West Frontier Province of Pakistan. Area in which I read this book was Laos which is known even today in their local language as Luvpradesh and in modem French version Laos which is pronounced as 'Lao'. Over the centuries the descendents of Luv extended their empire up to the Chinese sea and beyond upto Bali and including Indonesia

Was Pakistan part of the Ancient Persian Achaemenian Empire?

Ancient Pakistan's history unravels itself with the Persians under Darius (522 B.C.- 486 B.C.) who made this region a province of Achaemenian Empire (or may be earlier under his grand-father Cyrus). Darius affirms this in his inscriptions at Persepolis and Naksh-e-Rustam mentioning Hapta Hindva (seven rivers) as a province of his Empire. The conquered provinces of the Punjab and Sindh were considered to be the richest and most populous satrapy of the Empire, to the revenues of which they were required to pay the enormous tribute of a million sterling. This 15th (20th) Satrapy of Darius' Empire extended up to Beas - almost the same area as now covered by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. A Pakistani contingent fought in Xerxes' army on his expedition to Ancient Greece. Herodotus mentions that the Indus satrapy supplied cavalry and chariots to the Persian army. He also mentions that the Indus people were clad in armaments made of cotton, carried bows and arrows of cane covered with iron. Herodotus states that in 517 B.C. Darius sent an expedition under Scylax to explore the Indus.

As part of the Persian Empire, Pakistan had a flourishing economy; inter-regional trade developed considerably and several caravan cities sprang up. Charsadda on the Peshawar road and Taxila near Rawalpindi were supposed to have been two of the many centres of trade and intellectual activity during the pax-Persica of the latter half of the 6th century B.C.

"The materials available to the scholar today indicate that the northwestern part of the sub-continent was an economically advanced province in the last centuries of the first millennium B.C. to the early first millennium of our era. Herodotus describes the Indians inhabiting the part of the sub-continent under the Achaemenids as the most numerous of all peoples known to him, a people who "paid (to the Achaemenids) a tribute which was great in Comparison to the others." (The Peoples of Pakistan). As such, as part of the Achaemenian Empire she became involved in Middle East politics. Since Darius had defeated the Greeks extending the western frontiers of his Empire up to River Danube, and since Pakistani troops had participated in this campaign and in another war against Greece under Xerxes (486-465 B.C.), when Alexander came out to take revenge for his country's previous defeats he made it a point to attack and annex Pakistan. The fact that Pakistan was part of the Persian Empire till Alexander's time is proved by the call which Darius III, the last of the Achaemenian dynasty was able to issue to troops of the satrapy when making his final stand at Arbela to resist the Greek invasion of Persia by Alexander. According to the historian, Arrian, some of the forces of Indus people were grouped with their neighbours, the Bactrians and the Sogdians, under the command of the satrap of Bactria at Arbela against Alexander.

An important point to be noted here is that even during the period Pakistan was under the Achaemenian Empire from the time of Darius, about 500 B.C. to the arrival of Alexander in 327 B.C., i.e., a span of almost two hundred years, it enjoyed complete autonomy. Its administration was under several local rulers (rajas) who merely acknowledged the suzerainty of the Persians. During the last days of the Achaemenians when the monarchy had become decadent autonomy was asserted to a still greater extent.

"Alexander's invasion of the Punjab (326 B.C.) is sometimes mentioned as marking the beginning of Greek influence upon the Indian continent. Though this statement is in a sense true, it is probably more accurate to say that because the Achaemenian Empire included the north-west and Alexander took it over in conquering that empire, it was natural that Hellenism, on developing in that Empire after Alexander's time, should enter the North-West. (Present-day Pakistan).
