This blend creates a compelling narrative that resonates across borders. Imagine the sheer power of a nation where so many cultures and beliefs not only coexist but thrive!But it's not just about the captivating culture. Tharoor points out that India's vibrant democracy and free press also contribute significantly to its global appeal. This open and dynamic environment fosters admiration and trust.
