Of Course Tamils and Biharis cannot claim the IVC. And they don't need to, because they also have a glorius and ancient history. As I mentioned before, Bihar was the origin of some of the greaest South Asian Empires in History such as the MAuryans and Guptas. not to mention that BUddhism developed in that state, and many of the greates mathematicians and astronomers in the subcontinent were born in Bihar. Maybe things are different on this forum, but I have never seen anyone not from the IVC region obsess over it and real life. BTW, the parts of India that encompass the IVC have more people than you think.
How is saying that we have more in common than you than BD stealing your history? By the way, the name India originated from the Greek Indika, which was used to describe everything EAST of the Indus.

As for stealing of history, perhaps you could take your own advice? I remember you trying to claim the Mauryans even though they began in Patilputra.
Atleast we can agree on one thing. The rest of India except border states cannot claim IVC. That is mutually understood correct? Just put yes or no.
And I have never seen any Pakistani obsess over Mauryan and Gupta empires. Most Pakistanis don’t even know what that even is.
And no the IVC influenced regions of India really don’t have that many people.
If we count those border states it’s around 158 million people. And I’m being really generous here because there are some areas of Gujarat and Punjab which are not connected to IVC geographically such as Surat Gujarat, and east side of Rajasthan. So most likely around 100 million people. So out of 1.2 billion population of India only around 100-160 million have SOME shared history.
Also, don’t claim your history based on whatever foreigners labeled you as. Just because a Greek scholar one time said the world is flat doesn’t mean it to be true.
Actually the most ancient term for India is the region around the Indus River. Basically Sindh. East of Sindh would be considered a totally different region based on ancient knowledge. remember that Alexander and Bin Qasim never ventured out farther than Sindh because that was where the civilization basically ended to them. The rest of India past Sindh and Gujarat was basically civilziationless to them and useless to them.
