Soft Power right
Or what Raytas call Vishwaguru ?
What is the tool to do it ?
Bollywood ?
This was in 1964

Food ?
Pakistanis and Bangladeshi will ensure from Indian it turns south Asian
Nations need to have establishments which promote Indian culture
Precisely Hindu Culture because what we sell as Indian culture is a bastardized version of Iranian,Turkic and local North Indian culture which fuses to form Tehzeeb
A nation which influenced South East Asia to such an extent that now I am sorry to say but they have more Hindu elements as a state is now not doing anything to promote it
Japan
Ethiopia
Spain
Poland
Russia
Iran
France
America
Germany
Switzerland
Italy
Korea

These are the nations with culture promotion establishments in India

Look at the follower count
Look at the content
India either would be looked how the Brits like Churchill looked at it or people who think the Mughals civilized us
With so much variety we cannot promote our heritage internationally ?
That's because even locals dont know much
If you really want India to exert soft power and want it's horizon to expand beyond curry and Naan you need organizations backed by the govt to spread our culture and prevent appropriation
This is one of the ways which is crucial and affects citizens of other nations directly
So many of us admire Japan or Russia because they have succeeded in propagating either their ideology or elements of their culture.
Do this and see how things slowly change and who knows people may support Hindutva from outside too
