Its actually a myth that India has NEVER invaded any foreign country. Actually they did. Lets not go back to 10000 years; just drift to the past 67 years.
Also, it will be good to keep in mind what
Invasion actually means.An
invasion is a military offensive in which large parts of the armed forces of one geopolitical entity aggressively enter territory controlled by another such entity, generally with the objective of either
conquering,
liberating or re-establishing control or authority over a territory,
forcing the partition of a country, altering the established government or gaining concessions from said government, or a combination thereof
1948
Under Operation Polo, Indian Armed Forces invaded the State of Hyderabad and overthrew its Nizam, annexing it to the State of Indian Union.
Operation Polo
For those who contest saying it was a princely state; chew on this - Monaco is a princely state. If a foreign force was to cross the border and conquer it - will it not be an invasion ?
It was a clear case of
conquering.
1961
India annexed Portuguese India which included the enclaves of Goa, Daman and Diu, and Dadra and Nagar Haveli.
Conquering aspect of the Invasion definition applies.
1971
After Pakistan launched a pre-emptive attack against India after building of tensions; India responded with air strikes.This marked the official start of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. Prime Minister Indira Gandhi ordered the immediate mobilisation of troops and launched the full-scale
invasion. This involved Indian forces in a massive coordinated air, sea, and land assault. Indian Air Force started flying sorties against Pakistan from midnight. The main Indian objective on the western front was to prevent Pakistan from entering Indian soil. There was no Indian intention of conducting any major offensive into West Pakistan.

Indo-Pakistani War of 1971
Here, since India liberated East Pakistan and forced the partition of Pakistan; it tantamounts to invasion.
It is important to note that the principle of
It's not an invasion if your motives are goodis not correct. So even though it can be argued that India had sincere motives, it doesn't change the fact that the above mentioned incidents were an Invasion.
Edit: Oops. Forgot about Kashmir.
