After he came into power in 2014，Modi took the advantage of the general election to engage actively in the international arena for reshaping the Indian image of being a “great power”，which enables India to draw a lot of attention in the world politics. In terms of the domestic development，Modi also put his ideas into action by launching a series of reform measures to promote the domestic economic restructuring so that India tops the world in terms of economic growth rate. However，in the context of the rapidly changing international situations and a sharp rise in security challenges，these glories are proved difficult to cover up the obstructions to India going globally due to India’s structural problems in its economic development and the headstrong thinking in the geopolitical concept. India is such a country as rich in the “geopolitical imagination”. Once the cognitive strategy based on geopolitical imagination is converted into foreign policy or state activities，its practical significance and related impacts will be fully reflected. Since India lays too much stress on political intentions，pays more attention to security issues in international economic cooperation and shows worry and anxiety about the geopolitical space development situations and the security environment changes. As a result，India’s foreign policy toward China is facing “strategic dilemma”，“cooperation dilemma” and “security dilemma”，and its chosen strategy toward China is always full of entanglements and contradictions. Currently，India feels threatened about the “One Belt One Road” Initiative proposed by China，which makes Sino-Indian geopolitical contradictions relatively more prominent. Therefore，India needs to have a more open mind.
