Northwest India was a historical region, geographically located on the north-western Indian subcontinent. It predominantly constitutes what are now parts of the present-day South Asian republics of India and Pakistan (specifically modern north-western India and eastern Pakistan) after the 1947 Partition of British India.^[1][2] Until the Iron Age, the term "India" predominantly referred to this region (the Indus valley).

The region encompassed the modern Pakistan and the territory of the modern India approximately to the west of the 77th meridian east and north of the 24th parallel north.^[3]
