All religions/cultures should be allowed to create India by decision since during the time period most people to the west called it India/Hindustan.
Also, the name should be different depending on your religion when creating it.
Dharmic Religious group:
1) Indo-Aryan cultures should call it Bharat or Aryavarta
2) Dravidan cultures should call it Dravida
3) Sinhala culture should call it Jamudvipa to simulate the south-east Asian name for it. (also Sinhala should be part of the dravidan culture group since it is south-most)
Christian religious group: Call it India (land of the indus river/Sindhu river)
Islamic religious group: Call it Hindustan (lit. land of the hindus or land of Sindhu - the river that marks the eastern border)
Zoroastrian religious group: Hindustan (they were the first people to call india hindustan iirc)
Pagan religions: Depending on western or eastern origins call it india or Hindustan since they would've heard of the region via trade with Christians/muslims respectively
Also can we set Hindustani culture to appear when a muslim ruler has a king-level Indo-Aryan title for say 100 years? Hidustani culture isn't technically a thing and indian cultures don't call themselves Hindustani to this day.
