India has not officially invaded any other country since becoming an independent nation in 1947. However, it has been involved in several military operations and conflicts over the years in neighboring countries. India was involved in conflicts with Pakistan in 1947 and 1965, and with China in 1962. India also fought a war with Pakistan in 1971, resulting in the creation of Bangladesh. India also took part in the liberation of East Pakistan in 1971. India has also been involved in several military operations in Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, including Operation Pawan in 1987 and Operation Cactus in 1988. India has also conducted several cross-border operations, including Operation Meghdoot in 1984, Operation Parakram in 2001-02, and Operation Vijay in 1999.

India has never invaded any country in its 2000 years history. That's what I learned even from my school days. That's why once Chinese president told even if India didn't attack us it is dominating our nation (china) culturally for 2000 years. India is basically a peace loving nation and it is the fastest developing nation despite it's corrupted government officials. India will never attack any nation unless for a self-defense.

India has invaded only one country till now. That country is Sri Lanka. That was back then when Lord Rama invaded the Lanka with the help of Lord Hanuman to save and get back Sita ji from Ravana.

As the story of India conquering a country can vary depending on the particular situation and context. However, some have suggested that India may not have invaded another country, but rather beeneree its power and influence over that country. This idea is that India was not conqueror or empire until after its occupation or before its political and military control was revoked.

  • India invaded Goa after its Independence, that belonged to Portugal for a long time.
  • Pakistan, India invaded and split it into two countries called Pakistan and Bangladesh.
  • India still keeping some territories that were not part of India before its independence.  
In technical norms, India never invaded any country or territory after its independence.

India, defined as the political entity which came into existence following independence from Britain in 1947 can accurately be said to be a country that has never invaded a foreign country,.. a claim that is at least technically accurate.

India has never officially attacked another country in modern history. However, India has taken military action in some of its neighboring countries. In the late 18th century, the East India Company (a British trading company) conquered the Darjeeling and Shimla regions that were part of Nepal. In the 1950s, India annexed the Portuguese colony of Goa. In 1971, India intervened in the Bangladesh War of Independence, leading to the establishment of Bangladesh as an independent country. In 1987, India participated in the Sri Lankan civil war and briefly occupied the Jaffna Peninsula. In 1999, India also carried out airstrikes against Pakistani forces in the Kargil war.

India has been involved in military conflicts with neighboring countries, but it has not been known to invade other countries in recent times. India has a history of conquests and invasions during ancient times and the medieval period, including the Mauryan and Mughal empires. However, modern India has primarily focused on diplomatic and economic relations with other countries.

India never invaded another sovereign country for territory or colonisation on the scale that the Europeans did. And Indians have sacrificed their lives to maintain global peace on many occasions as well, like in the World Wars.
