If China is considered the "mother culture" of East Asia, is India the "mother culture" of South Asia?

Who are "Indians" in a cultural ethno-linguistic sense? I understand Greeks, Latins, Chinese, Egyptians, Babylonians, Persians, Assyrians, and Russians. But "Indians?" Its a civilization in itself. Not the mother of a civilsations.

Pretty much yeah. Chinese civilization spread from the Yellow river east to Korea and Japan, and south to the Yangtze and Vietnam. After the collapse of the IVC and the migrations of the Indo-Aryans, Indian civilization emerged around the Ganges and spread south to the Deccan, peninsular India and Sri Lanka, and east to Indonesia and Indochina. In between them, Tibet and the Tarim Basin were heavily influenced by both.
Both China and India didn't exist in a vacuum and were influenced in their development from outside of course, especially India which adopted stuff like writing from the Middle East. But they developed urbanism and statehood independently.
The spread of civilization also wasn't just a simple process of savages being given civilization, it involved a more complicated mix of independent social development and selective adoption of culture and isntitutions from more complex societies.
