South Asia is a unique region faced with cross-border challenges and several paradoxes. Regardless of civilizational, historic and ethnic linkages among the countries, it is one of the least integrated and most temperamental areas in the world.
After being unsuccessful in the test of using the hard power approach to get the desired outcome, India has looked towards soft power. It now aims to regrow its positive image in the region and attract more neighbours to a vision of shared peace and prosperity through soft power.
This paper analyses how soft power can be a better bet for India to integrate South Asia and its cumulative growth. This paper also examines soft power as an approach to a foreign policy of India, its evolution, effectiveness, features, untapped soft power resources and lessons it can learn from China which is much ahead in this field.
According to Wagner, using a soft power strategy would require India to transform its soft power capacity such as yoga, Bollywood, and sports into capability; harnessing them all into securing national objectives without much compromise.
