    Shashi Tharoor argues that nations should pursue "soft power", which is a nation's ability to influence others through its culture, values, and policies rather than military or economic strength. He gives the example of how India is becoming a global superpower through its soft power of sharing its culture like Bollywood films, music, food and other aspects with the world. Tharoor believes soft power, like cultural exports, will become more important than military or economic power in the long run for countries to gain influence internationally.

    Fascinating talk, with one amazing sentence ... "The last elections, 5 years ago, gave the world extraordinary phenomenon of an election being won by a woman political leader of Italian origin and Roman Catholic faith (Sonia Gandhi) who then made way for a Sikh (Manmohan Singh) to be sworn in as prime minister, by a Muslim (president Abdul Kalam) in a country 81% Hindu." Perhaps we are making progress, eh?
