Well frankly, what I understand is India the name has always been a concept named after great ruler 'Bharat' . It was the ideology that gives the name to the current state of India. Just like Israel mite be around the holy land of jerusalem. but actually israel word comes from the concept of judaism. whoever follows judaism anywhere that place becomes israel.
In simple words, India is not a piece of land, its a land where people of a certain ideology reside. Some millennia back it comprised of of whole subcontinent. with time it kept on decreasing to its current state due to introduction of new ideologies like islam.
So you first have to understand concept of india throughout the timeline.
thats why i personally feel that Indus valley civilization will be considered as of India coz it consisted of people with that kind of ideology which is similar to that of current India (not to be mistaken as fundamentalist hindu version of India). Harrapan people were pagans just like current Hindus. Islam, Judaism are Abrahmic religions and hence can't be compared with the practice of pagans.
