Indien wird schnell zu einer Supermacht, sagt Shashi Tharoor--nicht nur durch Handel und Politk, sondern durch "soft" power, seine Fähigkeit die Kultur des Landes durch Essen, Musik, Technologie, Bollywood, mit der Welt zu teilen. Er ist der Auffassung, dass auf Dauer nicht die Grösse der Armee so entscheidend sein wird,wie die Fähigkeit eines Landes sich auf die Herzen und Gemüter der Welt auszuwirken.

After a long career at the UN, and a parallel life as a novelist, Shashi Tharoor became a member of India's Parliament. He spent 10 months as India's Minister for External Affairs, building connections between India and the world. Full bio »
