Pakistan's name comes from a pamphlet published by an independence activist in 1933. The word PAKSTAN was used as an acronym to refer to the five northern regions of the future country: Punjab,Afghania, Kashmir, Sindh, and Baluchistan. The letter "i" was later incorporated for ease of pronunciation and in Persian, Pakistan means "land of the pure".
