Many writers translate the word âPakistanâ as âLand of the Pureâ; this is incorrect. The word Pakistan consists of two parts, i.e., Pak and Istan. While Pak is a Persian word, which mans holy/ pure/ clean, the word Istan is from the word isthan, which is a Hindi word meaning a place. For example âJanum Isthanâ means the place of birth. So the word Pakistan means a holy/ pure/ clean place (country) and not the âLand of the Pureâ. The word Pak is an adjective which describes âIstanâ (Isthan), place and not its inhabitants.
