One can only form Hindustan while playing Divine Wind. It is the counterpart to Mughal Empire for native Indian cultures (as opposed to the Mughal decision, which is only availabe to Altaic or Iranian cultures). Despite the name, it is not limited to Hindu nations; Muslim Indian states may form Hindustan as well. The requirements are different depending on which culture one is playing as but the effect is the same.

The image details this decision. All shaded provinces become cores.

Hindustan was never a political entity historically speaking but comes from the Iranian term for "Land of the Hindus" (Just as our word 'India' means "Land of the Indus). It seems far more likely that the AI will create Hindustan than the Mughal Empire in the grand campaign, and in many ways poses a more significant threat as they tend to be more internally stable.
