The nation of India is the location of the long-venerated Indus Valley and that associated ages-old history. That history pre-dates a whole bunch of other societies and their religions. I am glad that the Indian national court system made this decision. To have such a rich historically and spiritually, as India, soiled with the putrid stench and puerility of mohameddanism, is a crime of the ages.

Yep, the mooselimbs earned their reputation. In his travel memoirs about India, the 14th century Moroccan traveller Muhammad Ibn Battuta mentioned crossing into India via the mountain passes of the Hindu Kush. In his Rihla, he mentions these mountains and the history of the range in slave trading.[40][19] Alexander von Humboldt stated that it can be learned from his work that the name only referred to a single mountain pass upon which many Indian slaves died of the cold weather.[41] Battuta wrote, After this I proceeded to the city of Barwan, in the road to which is a high mountain, covered with snow and exceedingly cold; they call it the Hindu Kush, that is Hindu-slayer, because most of the slaves brought thither from India die on account of the intenseness of the cold. — Ibn Batutta, Chapter XIII, Rihla – Khorasan[19]

Most of the length of the Indus is in Pakistan. The upper reaches are in Kashmir, which is part of India (although the Paki pseudostate disputes that and sponsors terrorist ops in Kashmir). The headwaters are in China.
