India is an observer due to Russian insistence that it join SCO; yet itself it has no desire to and probably will never become a permanent member of the alliance. Pakistan and Iran are separate cases, with separate aspirations. And frankly, they both have a history of working under someone's wing, I would guess for ensured protection, and that is why they are pushing to join SCO.
