Thanks for uploading File:Hindustan map.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf.☼ 10:04, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
European colonies of the Indian Subcontinent, and various edits to the article because while I understand your wish to distinguish between the modern Republic of India and the historical region of India/Indian subcontinent, I don't believe your approach is supported by usage in academic sources. However feel free to discuss the issue on the article talk page, and I and others may be convinced by the sources you present. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 17:58, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply
