As India marches towards economic progress; military, trade and money will not be the only drivers, or measures for that matter,  to make her reach the goals. Instead,  she will be empowered by other mediums such as “Soft Power”, says Shashi Tharoor. He explains the term further as “its ability to share its culture with the world through food, music, technology, Bollywood. As he says, "In today's world, it's not the size of the army that wins. It's the country that tells a better story."
