No the IVC is a distinct and separate civilisation to the ganges based civilisation of bharat, india has no claim on IVC
See... present day India does not have claim on IVC agree... but historical India does. Ancient vedic texts have references to IVC and hence we believe in the whole Indus Valley civilization as having being a part of India and thus our history.
I will quote from another article:
The center of Indus Valley culture was along the Indus River basin and its tributaries, which places most of it in present day Pakistan, but ruins of this culture have also appeared as far west as northern Afghanistan along the Oxus river and east into present day Gujarat, and even into Haryana State in central India.
Afghanistan and parts of modern India were also a part of IVC, hence our claims to IVC are also relevant in this context.
