Jaishankar takes a dig amid question on India as soft power; ‘We don’t promote potato chips’

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar spoke about India being a soft power while interacting with the Indian diaspora in Bangkok. A 16-year-old girl asked Jaishankar why India doesn’t exert its soft power in Thailand like Korea. Jaishankar said that the beauty of soft power was that it was not influenced by the government. He highlighted how India has been a strong soft power by citing example of the International Yoga Day. He also took a dig claiming that India doesn’t promote potato chips to remain a soft power. Watch this video for more details.

  1. 🙏🏽 🇮🇳 भारत माता की जय ।

    Thank you, Jaishankar Sir.

  2. Indian culture has produced a well thought culturally which makes people a well accepted world wide.

    You can see Indian rises to the top of US corporates ladder in Microsoft, Google, Pepsi or even Warren Buffett's insurance company because of that.

  3. Soft Power Is NO Power!!.. When A Nation Stands Up Against WRONG.. It stand up strong.. Taking Oil From A Killer Is A SHAMFUL POWER…

  4. Soft power can also be a cover, instead of making excuses and dealing with mass murderers, let's call it soft power. To earn the respect of others, you must respect their wishes and priorities as this goes for India towards Putin who is killing thousands of innocent people. India is showing that using its soft power, it has two faces and will lose trust, period!
