I think they both mean India; it's just that hindustan has a more religious connotation.

Hi Oriana
Thank you for your participation in our forum. Your answer is correct. Both words mean India.
भारत-bhārata has Sanskrit origin.
हिंदुस्तान-hindustān has Persian origin. Hindu + Stan=Hindustan means a place where Hindus live.
Have a wonderful day.
