About Indosphere Revival: Strategies to Meet Sinic Challenge
The existence of the Indosphere in the Southeast Asia region is a settled fact. Historically, the region’s indigenous communities embraced Indic civilisation, instead of the Sinic influence from close neighbourhoods. This contact stood suspended when India struggled against western invasions, disrupting the cultural supply chain eastwards.
India must revive these civilisational bonds, bearing in mind the inevitable clash of civilisations – Indic vs. Sinic. Framework for wielding and leveraging the soft power capital, a challenge in itself, will have to be highly nuanced, using public diplomacy tools extensively. That will play a crucial geostrategic role in the near future, on this eastern flank of the Indo-Pacific.
