Indus river starts from China. Although we have another name for it.

Wrong.
Both the words "India" and "Hindu" originate from the Indus River. Since the Indus Valley Civilization was the crade of civilization in South Asia.
And the Indus River is based almost entirely in modern-day Pakistan, so they are the heirs of the IVC and all its inventions and culture.
India may think it owns the history of the subcontinent, but none of the other countries in South Asia agree.
he Sanskrit word Sindhu means river, stream or ocean, probably from a root sidh meaning to keep off. Sindhu is still the local appellation for the Indus River.
In the Rigveda Sindhu is the name of the Indus river. Sindhu is attested 176 times in the Rigveda, 95 times in the plural, more often used in the generic meaning. In the Rigveda, notably in the later hymns, the meaning of the word is narrowed to refer to the Indus river in particular, for example in the list of rivers of the Nadistuti sukta. This resulted in the anomaly of a river with masculine gender: all other Rigvedic rivers are female, not just grammatically, being imagined as goddesses and compared to cows and mares yielding milk and butter.
The word Sindhu became Hindu in Old Persian. Ancient Greek: Ἰνδός Indós (borrowed in turn into Latin as Indus) is a borrowing of the Old Iranian word.[1] The name Indos is used in Megasthenes's book Indica for the mighty river crossed by Alexander based on Nearchus's contemporaneous account.
The ancient Greeks referred to the Indians (present-day India beyond the Indus River) as Indoi (Ινδοί, the people of the Indus
It doesn't flow through India, it flows though India-occupied Kashmir.
And the Indus Valley Civilization was based almost entirely around what is now modern-day Pakistan.
they will now claim that Rigveda was written by Invaders..

IVC isnt just a mound bricks and a city of ruins.........
it was a civilisation ,an idea,a concept, a culture that transformed into the vedic ganges civilisation and still endures through it's ideological,cultural succesor that is India,not Pakistan!!!thus only we indians have a right to be the true inheritors of it's legacy..........Pakistan gave up it's right to the legacy when it embraced it' west asian islamic roots..........
It doesn't flow through India, it flows though India-occupied Kashmir.
Bottom line, the Indus Valley Civilization was based almost entirely in what is now modern-day Pakistan.
Both the word "India" and "Hindu" originate from the word "Indus" in the Indus River, which is now almost entirely situated within modern-day Pakistan.
You're claiming the legacy of the IVC even though it existed almost entirely within what is now modern-day Pakistan?
Ask the Pakistanis first, it's their territory, therefore their history.
