india is the rising power of asia

india and china as it is said are the two rising powers of asia. if we talk about india specifically then the issues that are going on of india with its neighbours are the solid determinants of what india means to other asian countries. on one hand, where pakistan and china are desperate to occupy the land of india, sri lanka is adamant to raise the tamils issue to demolish the image of rising india. bhutan too wants to have friendly relations with india for their own benifit.
 
when it comes to influence of india over asia, we should rather take a look at nations like china, malaysia, singapore, indonasia, japan, srilanka where most of people follow buddhism, hinduism ..religions originated from india. in these nations we have temples worshiping lord buddha. lots of cultural influence in way of living can also be seen.
 
The bilateral relations between the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan and the Republic of India have been traditionally close. With independence in 1947, India inherited the suzerainty over Bhutan enjoyed by the British Raj. Although modified and modernised since, India remains influential over Bhutan's foreign policy, defence and commerce.
 
india is truly an asian country because, indians are wide spread in the nations across the continent. india's cultural values are more influential in the continent. moreover, the religion which prevails in most of the asia is buddhism and next is hinduism, both of which have indian origins. apart from this, there is lot of competition in growth of the countries in asia.
