Why is it that so many other successful countries out there have alliances, but India seems to disdain it, with the word "alliance" being a dirty word in Indian politics?

Perhaps it's because the pre-requisite for any alliance among nations is to have your own nation and sense of nationalism in the first place. Because India is politically still in a pre-national state and has yet to evolve into a real nation where national interests predominate, we're still stuck with party-first and tribal-first politics, which eschews any attempt to put anything ahead of party, factional, or tribal interests.
