I think it's quite obvious what's motivating Indians. Look at the general news coming out of China compared to India. From China's regional development to technological advancements, this is simply desperation and the India government has to show superficially they can stand up to China.
I've said before that all governments from democracies to dictatorships have to show its citizens the reason why they should be in power in order to prevent the citizens from turning against them. China's regional development exposes the insignificance of India's power. If they could do it, they would've beaten China and prevent this from happening and to make sure they were good terms with neighbors. Just look at the Nepal earthquake disaster. Both India and China competing symbolically there in aid assistance. The shelters India setup were crap and it was reported India shipped expired and spoiled food to feed disaster victims. And some articles are suggesting that India's actions are really about using it as a negotiating tool to prevent China's regional development projects in other certain sensitive areas.
In this new world, courtesy of China, countries that are followers are in for a world of hurt in the future... and all those countries hate China. China is busting myths on how things are suppose to work. Notice there's hardly talk about how political freedom equates to innovation? These are the things brainwashed into people to not advance people but the opposite. Before the J-20 was unveiled, countries like Japan and South Korea would look down at China for not having a stealth fighter because they believed in all that nonsense of who can and cannot do what. They didn't have a stealth fighter but they thought it was enough just being allied with a country with stealth fighters. Now with the J-20 out, it's just embarrassing to believe what they thought before hence why they had to put money into a symbolic stealth fighter program even though they're still going to buy American. And they charge the J-20 is only a prestige project...? Even Europeans have to ask permission from the US if they can sell things to other countries. Without being able to sell, money is limited on advancing technology. Even within the US, the government looks to restricting investments into startups thus limiting the ability to flourish. You're only as good as your leader will allow you to be.
Riding on someone else's coattails makes one live in exaggerated confidence. That makes one unrealistic and not focused on what really are the problems that need to be addressed.
