It is a common belief today that the Indus region is a crucial part of the Indian subcontinent and south Asia. This whole concept is heavily flawed, and I will explain why.
South asia is defined as a region that has shared history, culture, linguistics, geology and civilisational roots, and it is isolated from the rest of eurasia because of it being surrounded by mountain ranges and the monsoon rains are also a defining feature.
The Indus region has little shared history with South asia. It has a 6000 year history, and only 500 it has spent united with or under the same influences as South asia.
During our earliest period, the Indus Valley civilisation, we had urban cities, trade with mesopotamia, standardised weights and measures, a script, while India was just a forest of cavemen.
We remained a separate cultural zone after the fall of the Indus Valley civilisation and the beginning of the "vedic" period. The vedic religion practised in our land, sapta sindhu, was nothing like the religion that developed much later in India after some tribes from our region migrated there, became the ruling elite, and established a different religion with different values, gods, social structure and identity.
We remained isolated from south Asia by the thar desert, and the sutlej and beas rivers marked the end of our land, beyond which the terrain changed and farming was not possible until the Persian wheel was invented. We wore stitched clothes, footwear, headwear, had entirely different beard and hairstyles. The Indian subcontinent wore drapes, mostly barefoot and without headwear. We never practised the same religion as them, with the vedic religion first being dominant in our land and then maga saurism and mahayana Buddhism becoming dominant alongside zoroastrian presence, while hinduism and other types of Buddhism remained dominant in the ganges plains.
For most of our history we were ruled by empires expanding from the west, which heavily influenced our culture. Our gandharan art was much more similar to greco roman art than to Indian art, our clothing was more similar to the persians, bactrians and sogdians and even our languages were closer to Eastern Iranian languages because of having much more contact with them, while having a different ancestor from both Indian and iranian languages. Labels like Prakrit and apabhramsa and sanskrit literally couldn't apply to us because we didn't have different elite and spoken languages.
We were a tribal, pastoralist and semi nomadic and wheat farming society, while the ganges was an agrarian settled rice farming society dominated by the rigid varna caste system. We were heavy meat eaters and wine drinkers while both of these were absent in the ganges. The soma ritual which was a central part of our vedic religion ceased to exist in the Hinduism that developed in the ganges. Our terrain was dry, steppe like characterised by doabs, while the ganges plain was a dense humid jungle.
The ganges remained isolated from the rest of eurasia while we remained a crucial part of it, we dominated the silk road and spread mahayana Buddhism to central and east Asia. Our empires, the Kushan, indo scythian and indo Greek empires were eurasian superpowers. We saw continuous migrations from the Iranian plateau and Central asia. Our trade was concentrated with the west, not the east. Students from around eurasia came to taxila to study. We wrote in the kharosthi script, not brahmi. We remained genetically more similar to populations in Central and Eastern Iran and Central asia and still are. They say half of the Indus region lays on the Indian plate. Even though by area, most of it lays in the eurasian plate, the part that lays on the indian plate is increasingly recognised as a micro plate or a transition zone between the eurasian and Indian plates.
I have made a discord community for those who believe the Indus region was always it's own separate west facing civilisation, you can join from this link:
Right before WW1 (lore in the works). The western continent is called Virgo, the eastern continent is called Eridanus, and the northern island is called Rodland.
Flags are also in the works as I suck at making them, if anyone wants to make flags go ahead.
The only lore I have as of now is this:
The Flotilla War (1878-1880)
The Flotilla War was a major combat engagement between the nations of Lyra and Toronii, mainly centered in the Toronii colonies of Magra, Akrusi and Virgona & the nearby Rodlandic Sea. The war was caused after an armed Toroniian flotilla was spotted off the coast of Lyra. The king & royal family, fearing an attack by Toronii, declared war on Toronii in 1887. Virgona and Akrusi were invaded by Lyra and capitulated by 1879, but Magra stayed in Toroniian hands till 1880. In 1879, Toronii landed off the coast of the island of Rodland as a staging ground and base for a potential invasion of mainland Lyra, but the plan never went into fruition, and the Treaty of Lamdon was signed in 1880. In the peace treaty, Lyra annexed Toroniian Virgona, Akrusi and Magra. These newly annexed territories would revolt and later declare their independence from Lyra in 1890 during the North Virgoan Wars for Independence.

Night of 14th August 1945, the coup attempt(Kyūjō incident) succeeded and the emperor was put on house arrest, as the government was now under military command, they refused to surrender to the allies even after getting hit by two atomic bombs.
As the war continued, the United States asked the Soviet Union for help in "Operation Downfall".The Soviets feeling mistrust from a former ally for not sharing about the atomic bomb, yet accepted United States offer, as the Soviet saw it was a chance to expand their influence in Asia.
On the 1st of September 1945, "Operation Downfall" Began, as US forces land in Kyushu, Shikoku and southern Honshu. The Soviets on the other hand invaded from the Kuril island and Hokkaido.
With the invasion and march to Tokyo was going at a steady pase, United States alongside the invasion droped three more atomic bombs on saitama, Osaka and Yokohama.
On 25th December US forces marched in the Imperial Palace in Tokyo and Japan formally surrender marking and end to the war in the Pacific.
After the war Japan was put into administration zones like Germany, Kyushu was controlled by UK, Shikoku under Republic of China and Southern Honshu under the United States, likewise North Honshu and Hokkaido was under Soviets control.
It was accepted that Japan will be divided like German, thus formed the US backed Republic of Japan in the South and the Soviet Backed Socialist People's Republic of Japan in the North.
In China due to Soviets being busy in Japan the nationalist supported by US won the Chinese civil war forming "The Republic of China" as the communists fled to Tiwan. Due to no Soviet intervention on Manchuria, the Korean Peninsula got independence under a US backed republic.
As the Cold War carried on, North Japan to rival South Japan, the North also invest heavily on the consumer goods and also allow some small private businesses and private ownership of cars etc is also allowed. Corporations are allowed where there is innovation possible, other things like Housing, jobs, public transport, railway and health care are under government control.
The Soviets allow this in North Japan as it is the Soviets only strong ally in Asia. Therefore there is a second commercial cold War in the Japanese islands.
This is the basic run down of the lore of "Red Sun in the East"
