Vikas Khanna Instagram – India’s cuisine is our soft power to the World. Today we are rated as one of the top cuisines in the World….With several Michelin Star Chefs to most influential global Indian chefs & also in the World’s Top Lists. Indian chefs & restaurateurs play a vital role in making this happen & bringing the World closer to our country. Honored to be a part of this journey. Repost: @thegeostrata Soft power is the country’s ability to influence others without resorting to coercion. It serves as an antipode to hard power, which is influencing people through coercion and military capabilities. Cuisine diplomacy, a time- tested strategy, entails showcasing and promoting one’s culture to others via its culinary riches. The nation has the capacity to impact its citizens through its gastronomic traditions. Authored by Nandita Lata for the Geostrata.
