Not to be confused with Emperor of India.

Emperor of Hindustan sometimes also translated as Emperor of India was an imperial title used by the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal Empire to signify their sovereignity over Northern India and later the Indian subcontinent.

The term was simultaneously used for Northern India and the Indian subcontinent during the Medieval period.

During the rule of the Mughal Empire in the 16th century, the term was equivalent to Emperor of India, many sources also translate Emperor of Hindustan to Emperor of India.

History

Delhi Sultanate

After the Delhi Sultanate gained independence from the Ghurid Empire, it called its land Hindustan, representing its sovereignity over Northern India (Punjab and the Indo-Gangetic plains) and later the Indian subcontinent.

Scholar Bratindra Nath Mukherjee states that during the Delhi Sultanate, Hindustan simultaneously represented Northern India as well as the entire Indian subcontinent.

Mughal Empire

The Delhi Sultanate was succeeded by the Mughal Empire, which called its polity Hindustan. By this period, Hindustan had come to mean the entirety of the Indian subcontinent rather than only Northern India.
