You folks have been blessed with excellent foreign policy management, even under the much criticised congress. You've kept your nose out of conflicts that weren't yours, ie in the ME. Yet, conflicts where your interests were at stake, ie Afghanistan, you interfered, but not in a damaging way, very calculated. And in Afghanistan, all it takes is one bad move to mess up your own interests, India has so far managed it really well.
It has also been upholding it's image as a responsible democracy at international levels, involving itself more and rightly being identified as a global power, a few examples come to mind.
You've also grown a lot closer to the US. Which is a masterstroke, having both Russia and the US by your side, while an inevitable relations with China, India is setting the stage for itself.
HOWEVER, all that is needed is a few bad strokes, like directly involving yourselves in war that isn't yours, not only is it bad internally, you begin to attach yourself to everything else the rest of the world perceives about what goes on there, which is as you know not so peachy. If India is wise, it will limit it's involvement against ISIS, condemn it but not become involved, the party can continue if that should happen.
