Soft power in international relations refers to a country's ability to influence others through cultural appeal, values, and diplomacy rather than coercion or military force. Coined by Joseph Nye, it encompasses elements like culture, political values, and foreign policies that attract and persuade other nations. Examples include the global influence of American movies, Japanese anime, French cuisine, and Indian yoga. Soft power enhances diplomatic relations, builds global trust, and fosters economic and cultural connections.

Soft Power has been increasingly leveraged by India in International Relations to further its influence by tapping in to its civilisational, cultural heritage. India has actively promoted its religious links, classical art forms including dance, movies, music etc. along with yoga and ayurveda.

In this session, Suhasini Haidar, Diplomatic Affairs Editor at The Hindu, explores whether India’s Soft Power Policy is still relevant and the discussion can be very helpful for UPSC Civil Services aspirants in helping them develop a deeper understanding of India’s Foreign Policy as part of GS Paper II under the UPSC Mains Syllabus.
