Indus is a river that runs on the periphery of the continent, I don't see how it can be said that the river defines the ecosystem on the subcontinent, instead representing a small portion of the varied ecosystems present across it ] (]) 21:24, 25 February 2024 (UTC) |

:Seems sensible. Changed the caption to "The ] is a major river of the north-west of the Indian subcontinent" - bland, but there we are. ] (]) 23:43, 25 February 2024 (UTC) |

::{{ping|Johnbod}} How about keeping the original caption and adding northwestern in between, something like - "The ] defines much of the ] of the north-western part of the Indian subcontinent." ? - ] (]) 10:59, 26 February 2024 (UTC) |

::::Btw, the caption to the same photo at ] is "Confluence of Indus and Zanskar rivers. The Indus is at the left of the picture, flowing left-to-right; the Zanskar, carrying more water, comes in from the top of the picture". So the Zanskar is actually the main river shown. ] (]) 13:42, 26 February 2024 (UTC) |

I want to complain about the main map used in the Infobox. Why use the national colour of India? The Indian subcontinent is not India! All maps in Misplaced Pages use the dark green colour, why is this one using the national colour of India? It is an insult to the other six South Asian countries. I am very angry, please change it immediately. (•̀へ •́ ╮ ) ] (]) 06:39, 28 March 2023 (UTC) |

To say the British Indian Ocean Territory is part of the Indian subcontinent seems like a bit of a stretch. Please provide ]s for it. ] (]) 20:09, 21 September 2024 (UTC) |

"Geopolitically, it includes the republics of Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka." |

This reads wrong to me as Bhutan is a kingdom, not a republic. ] (]) 05:57, 18 April 2023 (UTC) |

The map used doesn't show complete India. The Gilgit Baltistan and Aksai Chin are considered part of India as per accepted Indian Map. ] (]) 16:02, 4 May 2023 (UTC) |

I don’t know how to add citations in wiki articles, so I’ll post a source here: |

|
|
|
First definition provides affirmation. |
|
|
|
|
|
I’m not sure why this was ever in dispute anyway, to the person that reverted my edit. Why do you think it’s called the INDIAN subcontinent? ] (]) 08:20, 28 June 2023 (UTC) |

:::That link claims the first use of the term was in 1952, which is obviously incorrect. If you want to convince people to make this change to the article you're going to need a better source than a dictionary. In any case, we list alternative names in the 'Name' subection, where that can be presented with proper context and without confusing readers. ] (]) 17:56, 1 July 2023 (UTC) |
