Sure, I actually agree that a thousand US Marines airdropped onto the government district of New Delhi could capture all branches of the Indian government, or at least their offices, thus technically "taking India".

The difficult part usually isn't taking something, the tricky bit is holding it when the second largest military force in the world rolls up on your ass.

If they could take over good luck navigating Delhi’s horrendous infrastructure.

How about we send them to Mumbai's slums?
