Did you check first?Cos it sounds like you're an absolute, total, epic load of bollocks. To quote Wikipedia:
The name Pakistan means Land of (the) Pure in Urdu and Persian. It was coined in 1933 as Pakstan by Choudhary Rahmat Ali, a Pakistan movement activist, who published it in his pamphlet Now or Never.[18] The name is an acronym representing the "thirty million Muslim brethren who live in PAKSTAN—by which we mean the five Northern units of India viz: Punjab, North-West Frontier Province (Afghan Province), Kashmir, Sind, and BaluchisTAN". The letter 'i' was later added to ease pronunciation." Sources: www.columbia.edu/itc/mealac/pritchett/00islamlinks/txt_rahmatali_1933.html www.chaudhryrahmatali.com/now%20or%20never/index.htm
