To be fair, it did contain the Indus when they owned it. Now the Dutch, they have no excuse for “Indonesia”

Beyond what others have said the Indus has also massively shifted in history, and its huge tributary network is partially rooted in modern India.
There is a reason India is able to all but shut off much of Pakistan’s water, which caused international incidents last time they nearly had a war. It’s important to remember a river’s drainage, or things like the St Lawrence would not have *The Great Lakes* included, and that would be an enormous oversight.

It was part of India until 1947 when the British Raj decided to separate the country into Pakistan and India.
