I agree that we often don't see an Indian perspective in geopolitical discussions, but I think that's understandable. India faces difficult challenges internally and within its neighborhood. Extreme weather, overpopulation, and wealth disparity drive significantly more internal violence than the typical developed nation. India needs to spend proportionally more attention at home or on its borders (Sri Lanka, Pakistan, China, Bangladesh) than other nations. I suspect these issues limit its ability to contribute to the mainstream geopolitical discussion and allow others to generally predict how India will behave.
