Goa wasn't Indian territory. When the Indians invaded, the Goanese fled in droves. The Indian position on Japanese war criminals was that the Japanese perpetrators of Bataan and various other atrocities against Americans and Europeans in the Far East were being railroaded. Indian leaders spent much of the war snuggling up to Imperial Japan, and Mahatma Gandhi was a pretty big fan of Nazi Germany.
Goa was lost to the Portuguese when they fired on Goan protesters demanding their exit from the territory.

Indian leaders spent much of the war snuggling up to Imperial Japan, and Mahatma Gandhi was a pretty big fan of Nazi Germany.
"Gandhi initially favoured offering "non-violent moral support" to the British effort when World War II broke out in 1939, but the Congressional leaders were offended by the unilateral inclusion of India in the war without consultation of the people's representatives. All Congressmen resigned from office. After long deliberations, Gandhi declared that India could not be party to a war ostensibly being fought for democratic freedom while that freedom was denied to India itself. As the war progressed, Gandhi intensified his demand for independence, calling for the British to Quit India in a speech at Gowalia Tank Maidan. This was Gandhi's and the Congress Party's most definitive revolt aimed at securing the British exit from India."
"Gandhi was criticised by some Congress party members and other Indian political groups, both pro-British and anti-British. Some felt that not supporting Britain more in its struggle against Nazi Germany was unethical. Others felt that Gandhi's refusal for India to participate in the war was insufficient and more direct opposition should be taken, while Britain fought against Nazism yet continued to contradict itself by refusing to grant India Independence. Quit India became the most forceful movement in the history of the struggle, with mass arrests and violence on an unprecedented scale."

Ah yes, India wanted to invade Diego Garcia at a time when it had close to zero heavy air or sea lift capacity, no medium-long ranger fighter bombers, no long-range missile capabilities and no nukes.
That wouldn’t even qualify for a B-grade Tom Clancy novel.
