When Chinese supremacists mock India, remind them:

India dominated Asia not by force, but by ideas.

Hinduism, Buddhism, Sanskrit, numerals, scripts, medicine, and architecture all spread from India to Southeast Asia, China, Japan, and Korea… without a single soldier.

Their scripts? Indian.
Their temples? Indian.
Their deities? Indian.
Even Thai massage hails from an Indian rishi.

Hu Shih, Chinese scholar, said it best:

“India conquered and dominated China culturally for XX centuries without ever sending a soldier.”

Now that’s real soft power.
