Q. Who among the following is credited for using word "Hind" for India?
Answer: Amir Khusrau
Notes: The word "Hind" was used by the fourteenth century poet Amir Khusrau. In the early sixteenth century, Babur used Hindustan to describe the geography, fauna, and culture of the inhabitants of the Indian subcontinent. While the idea of a geographical and cultural entity such as "India" existed, the word "Hindustan" did not have the political and national connotations that we associate with it today.
