India is fast becoming a superpower, says Shashi Tharoor -- not just through trade and politics, but through "soft" power, its ability to share its culture with the world through food, music, technology, Bollywood. He argues that in the long run it's not the size of the army that matters as much as a country's ability to influence the world's hearts and minds.
India se está convirtiendo en una superpotencia a toda velocidad, dice Shashi Tharoor; no solo gracias al comercio y la política, sino mediante el poder "blando", la capacidad de compartir su cultura con el mundo a través de la comida, la música, la tecnología, Bollywood. Sostiene que, a la larga, no importa tanto el tamaño del ejército como la capacidad que tiene un país de ejercer influencia en los corazones y las mentes del mundo.
