Nations overall development depends upon a lot of factors. Taking reference of our historical sources we come to know that in our past, the power and influence of a kingdom or a country was known by its military strength and economy. A king who had more number of territories under his control was considered more powerful. 

But if we take reference of present times we see that today a country's strength and influence is calculated not only on its military strength, economy or trade but also on its soft power. Soft power means anything that represents the country all over the world and mark it's influence by mastering in that field and thus representing that country's strength.

The soft power of a country can be anything, like, art and culture, tradition, sports, technology etc. Today there are so many countries which hold an honourable position in this world on the strength of their soft power. Some countries are politically and diplomatically strong, few countries are strong on the defence side, some countries mark their  strength by  the technologies. They have the best experience of technology and the world is dependent upon them for their technical needs. Some countries have soft powers in their art and traditions, it may be there film or music industry, having a huge fan following all over the world, marks their influence and strong hold over other countries. 

The biggest and most famous so called soft power is the BTS, that is Bangtan Boys is a  South Korean Boy band formed in 2010. It is active from 2013 and today it is popular worldwide with millions of fans, it is the biggest soft power of South Korea.

We see Australia performing best in various sporting events like Cricket, commonwealth games, Olympic games, athletics etc. These achievements have marked a strong influence of Australia among other countries.

American soft power is Hollywood and their sport legends. With billion of fans over the world, it is a profession of thousands of people and marks America's influence over the world strongly.

When we talk about our country, Indian soft power lies in our ancient art and culture, sports, Yoga, classical dance and music forms and many renowned personalities. Today many Indians sit on the highest positions of top most companies of the world.  India has been contributing a lot in the medical field also, all these factors are acting as  India's soft power and all these are contributing in marking it's influence in this world.
