Best Answer

Pakistan, Bangladesh (East Pakistan), and India collectively were called the Sub-continent. The Muslims ruled Sub-Continent for almost 1000 years. At that time, Sub-Continent was referred as Hindustan (Farsi). India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh all together make Hindustan. Therefore, it is wrong to say that Pakistan and Bangladesh used to be the parts of India. Instead, the three countries were the integral parts of Hindustan or the integral parts of one another. Today Indians also call Bharat/India as Hindustan. However, this Hindustan means only India.

IN A NUTSHELL: The three countries were the integral parts of one another not Pakistan and Bangladesh were the integral parts of India.
