> never attacked anybody out of blue from 1947 when it was created

India "attacked" East Pakistan in the Bangladesh Liberation War [1]. Whether or not you or I feel it was justified is besides the point: it violated the sovereignty of another nation (similar to the U.S. in Iraq and Russia in Crimea).

Your linked article reads

"India joined the war on 3 December 1971, after Pakistan launched preemptive air strikes on North India."

which doesn't sound out of the blue to me.
