No, the impression is incorrect because India goes far beyond the scope of its size and power to manage its neighbours, which is justified for the following reasons:
1. India frequently feels exploited by its neighbours.
2. On the other hand, India's neighbours worry that India wants to dominate them regionally, despite the fact that India is strategically located and shares borders with other countries geographically.
3. India steers clear of political unrest in its neighbouring nations to prevent outsiders from abusing their influence there.
