Soft Power

'Mantra Mugdha', how softly Mr Tharoor has spoken about soft power. Even I just wondered to see my better half that with what involvement she was watching an Indian politician making a speech & making comments over it.  

Thank you all!!

Soft power is connecting & bridging gaps with the skills that have the capacity to enthrall, enrich and amuse at the same time. It automatically creates a platform of LIKE MINDED people, HEALTHY EXCHANGE of NEW IDEAS, CROSSING BOUNDARIES that are no longer RESTRICTED!! In short IT HAS THE POWER TO OPEN THE FLOODGATES OF HUMANITY AND FRIENDSHIP!!

Amazing Amazing stuff, leave all the controversies that surrounds Mr. Tharoor, I was really impressed the way he gave that speech which was really enthralling and actually people listened to what he had to say...and this Parlimentarian for surely go places in Indian politics, and certainly leave his mark in world stage also. Thanks for the referral, amazing stuff.

Yes Makrand, even I was really impressed with his speech so much that, I actuall came up with an Idea contest on the same lines, and you can check that contest on this link...

enthralling speech by mr.shashi  tharoor,narrating india's growth story in retrospect ,the developments happened at the bottleneck speed and scope lying ahead of our economy..it was spellbounding.though the the praise showered on india's pluralistic stance has thrashed by politicians(mention is subjected to present scenerio) who advocate "hindutva", hindu extremist groups like RSS and row over MARATHI MANUS.but as mentioned in speech the respect gained by indian educational institutes at par with prestigious inst.abroad ,hope indian infrastructure and rural lives will achieve the same some day and overcome the pertainig myths....

Really very thanks Bhave sir, Its worth observing!!!

 Makrand, Thanks for referring the Topic its really nice to read

Thanks for referral on this topic. Soft power is very important in relationship management, marketing and international relations. Shashi Tharoor is a very savvy minister. We are fortunate to have such people at the helm. 

In India, we are rich in SOFT POWER, but poor in marketing of the same. We need to apply marketing power to the soft power of India. In fact, the importance of soft power in marketing and other areas was highlighted by me in my blog about two years back: http://pharmaceuticalshealthcare.blogspot.com/2007/10/healthentertainment-and-mobile-two-new.html

Soft power helps in product differentiation as highlighted by me in my blogpost here: http://pharmaceuticalshealthcare.blogspot.com/2007/10/soft-power-and-single-herbal-product.html

Thanks!

He is truly a debonair!! He has kept himself so well informed to talk so extensively on the small things!! Truly amazing and I love the way he talks!! Thanks for the referral!!

"Anyone who believes you can't change history has never tried to write his memoirs." This is what I felt after hearing and watching Shashi Tharror’s histrionic speech in TED. More-over he made India proud with his Pluralistic PR speech, it dosen’t matter how many guns you have built, it does matter with one canon though like Tharror’s speech. Thanks for sharing Makrand.
