The Indian worlds are unique.  They’re part of the British Commonwealth, but not part of the Western Alliance.  Makes for real interesting politics.  They’ve remained neutral in matters between the Big Three alliances for instance, maintaining their official pacifism.  Gandhi would be proud.  Of course, they still have one of the larger militaries out there.  They may not want to start a fight, but they will, by all of their gods, finish one that some other idiot starts.
