IVC ceased to exist long time ago, we adopted a better way of life which helped our cause in a big way for over a millenia.

It was, however, not one country, not a single language, religion or culture and there was neither a form of organization that woud support that there was an "India" back then.

I mean no one says that western Europe was a nation 500 years ago, despite the fact that they all had the same religion and very similar cultures.

And did every nation which existed within the borders of todays India think they were part of Bharat?

This lines, yes. Though India was divided into many kingdoms, all kings considered themselves to be a part of Bharatvarsha. If you may not know, ancient Tamil literature points out , us, as the childrens of "Bharatham". They were all convinced that Bharat ruled the whole of India, and he was pretty celebrated in many parts of India.

This is the earliest known game similar to Chess from Indus Valley civilization. The modern Chess came from Chaturanga(4 divisions) from Gupta Period.

well well when it comes to Mughals/Muslim rule Indian Hindus say they were barbaric foreigners and when it comes to owning their inventions Indians say oh well they were INDIANS.

When it comes to foreign invasions , then Indians says oh well those were Hindu ancestors of Pakistanis who were ruled by them and Pakistanis areas were invaded so why you Indians even claim any culture, invention in IVC ??

These are clearly Pakistani and Muslims' inventions.
