Pakistan, Bangladesh (East Pakistan), and India collectively were called the Sub-continent. The Muslims ruled Sub-Continent for almost 1000 years. At that time, Sub-Continent was referred as Hindustan (Farsi). India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh all together make Hindustan. Therefore, it is wrong to say that Pakistan and Bangladesh used to be the parts of India. Instead, the three countries were the integral parts of Hindustan or the integral parts of one another. Today Indians also call Bharat/India as Hindustan. However, this Hindustan means only India.
IN A NUTSHELL: The three countries were the integral parts of one another not Pakistan and Bangladesh were the integral parts of India.

well, i know that Pakistan, sri lanka, and Bangladesh are now countries, and they weren't before the partition of 1947, if that helps. also, India used to be controlled by Britain, and now its a separate country. that's about it, i think.
Indus script or Harappan script was the writing system of the Indus Valley civilization. It was used in ancient greater north India (which included Pakistan and Bangladesh) from 3000 BC to 1900 BC, before Brahmi script came into use.
I have used the names of the modern states in order to avoid confusion;- India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Burma, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Hong Kong. Britain also had mandates after 1919 including Jordan, Iraq and Israel.
Indus script was used in north India and Pakistan from 3330 BC to around 1900 BC. Brahmi script was used in the same region from around 600 BC until it was replaced by regional writing systems.
