Hindustan vs Mughal Empire

Regardless of what the term Hindustan historically referred to (which, BTW, is also dubious), the entity that Babur and Aurangzeb ruled is known as the Mughal Empire in every history. We should use that term. If you think Hindustan is more appropriate, please make a case on this talk page (I'll link this discussion at the Aurangzeb talk page as well).
