It's not in the culture. Or simply it is not prioritized.

Dear Stand up Comedian , as a team sure India didn't qualified but there were some excellent players in indian footbal and some of them signed to play in international clubs since 1936.
Mohamed Salim became the 1st ever Indian Player to sign a contract for an overseas club when he had signed for Scottish club Celtic in 1936. He only played 2 exhibition games for Celtic despite playing well in both of the two matches because he grew homesick and returned home. Celtic tried to persuade him to stay for a season, even offering him to give him a percent of pay from gate tickets for a charity match. But, he refused and instead asked for the money to be donated among the local orphans.
and that was not an irony... and the list goes on by time by time .

^^^^
China indeed qualified and played in the 2002 WC, India qualified by default as the Asian representative in 1950, there were no qualification rounds though but India was nominated to play in the WC.. But didn't take part due to financial constraints and most of their players insisting to play barefoot which was not allowed by FIFA
