>>>they tried it with china in 1962 by occupying tibet but got kicked out
Please don't equate border disputes with 'occupying Tibet'. These disputes (which many countries in every region has with one neighbour or another) are usually over a few hundreds or thousands of square kilometers.
Tibet, on the other hand, is an area of a little over 1.2 million square km - 150% the size of Pakistan. China conquered the whole of it in the 1950s (it's not as simple as that. Tibet has a long story of being independent, under China and the Brits. Anyway, there were an independent country when China attacked them).
India has no 'claims' over Tibet - now or before.
