A very impressive speech by Mr Shsshi Tharoor - he says "India has a long long way to go when it comes to economic development and acknowledges that unless India’s vast human capital is underdeveloped, as long as India is “superpoor”, it cannot call itself a super power"
He talks about how much India has developed, and he talks of telecommunications.
He talks about India’s soft power and mentions how India has put itself on the world map because of this. He talks of India’s soft power in terms of its music, its movies, its cuisine and disciplines like Yoga, Ayurveda which have spread all across the world.
He further says that " India’s people, the scientists and doctors to mathematicians and software gurus who have made the world over sit up and take notice of India around the globe, Indian heritage, language and diverse cultures"
Really Impressed
