The anthem was written before Partition. Half of Punjab is in India.
Regarding "Sindh" in national anthem -

In fact Jana Gana Mana was chosen as the anthem over the more popular Vande Mataram because Vande Mataram would offen Muslim sensibilities since it means "I bow before thee Mother"
In the context of Sind, there would be no reason for highlighting an external identity which would only serve to perpetually divide, especially given how small the minority originating in Sind was.
Furthermore, given the widely perpetuated notion that Sindhi and Punjabi people have some sort of historic link to Hindustan, and the popular belief amongst many Indians that Pakistan should not have existed for various reasons, it all does become very suspect in nature.
Beyond that, who can know what is innocent and what is not, although certain things are undeniable.
