Yes, in my point of view, INDIA is a soft nation. We Indians do not believe in violence against violence, war against war, terror against terror. We do believe in peace, in harmony, in love, in Independence.

INDIA is the country who spends crores on terrorist like Kasab. We believe in getting rid of sin, not the sinner.

People of various religions, various casts in this country live peacefully without any communal riots.

But the word soft does not mean that we are weak. Soft means the polite, the humble, the generous nature.

If the time and the situation will force us to leave the soft nature then we are also capable of that.

Nothing in this world is softer than the water but its force can break the strongest rock.

We are just like coconut. Hard from outside and softer inside. As we can see our Army is very strong but we have soft government.

From my point of view,

India is not only a soft country but its hard too.

Why is India hard?
1 lots of crime is being happened daily
2 dowry system
3 lack of educational facilities in the village
4 1000 of girls are being raped
5 corruption is the biggest issue in India
6 reservation policy

Why is India soft?

1 unity in diversity
despite various languages, culture, festival all live together in peace and harmony
2 we have fundamental rights
everyone can do whatever they want
3 maintain good relations with other countries
4 politician present budget every year in order to solve the problem of general people.

So we cannot say that India is a soft nation or hard Nation.

Govt steps like make in India, and demonisation has benefited to many but some find problem due to that. so if we are satisfied with our nation we consider it soft.
Thank you

Hello, everyone.

There are two sides of every story so does the softness has a positive aspect and the negative aspect.

Positive aspect:-

1) India has always helped other nation in the times of need. For instances earthquake in Nepal, flood in Bangladesh.

2) India has never initiated any war with any country, on the other hand, we try to solve our conflicts as peacefully as we can.

3) India is the only country with so many diversity in languages and religion and all of them are provided with equal rights to each and everyone.

Good morning everyone.

I want to divide the topic in three context Internal issues, International issues, Social issues.

If, I consider the Internal issues, India is a multi-religion, multi-cultured, multilingual country where even you change your location from one district to another, culture and language also changes. All the people having different cultures live together happily without any issue. Yes, there are some problems in some states related to religion but it is not able to hurt our relationship permanently. So, yes India is a soft nation.

If I consider international issues, India did not start any war ever with China or Pakistan. It always try to solve these issues peacefully. After URI and PULWAMA attack, I think India change its position of softness and know how to reply back towards the harmful people. I really appreciate this.

In the case of the social aspect, India should provide special attention not only to the reserved category but also towards the general caste people. Due to the wrong reservation, many students from general category don't get a chance in top institutions. So, in this case, India is not a soft nation because if it is a soft nation then it provides special attention towards all cast.

Every coin has two sides. So, I think in internal and international issues, India is a soft nation but change their position of softness in some context but in the social aspect, it fails to prove itself as a soft nation.

Hi everyone.

I feel pleasure to discuss on this topic because I feel proud to be an Indian. According to my view India is neither a soft nation nor a hard nation. It totally depends upon the aspects that we consider a country can be judged as a soft nation or a hard nation depending on nature of people in that nation rules and regulations in that nation relationship with other nation.

When we consider the nature of people in India we can say that India is a hard nation because now a days many people are indulging in various illegal activities like sexual abusement, corruption, dowry etc which makes us to feel that people are cruel minded which in turn makes our nation hard.

When we consider the rules and regulations in our nation we can say that India is a soft nation because the culprits were not punished fastly in India like in other countries and If they are punished in one court they will go to other court which in turn increases the crime rate of our nation. This is because of soft nature.

When we consider the relationship with other countries I feel that India is a soft nation because we welcome all country people without any differences. We follow different cultures, traditions though there are many attacks on us we never try to attack any country we just defend ourselves not because we do not have enough power or army but wars cause destruction.

We follow the policy of Mahatma Gandhi our father of nation non violence not to get indulged in wars so that our country progress does not fall down.

So overall I consider India is a soft nation but it should become strong nation and enforce strong rules and regulations for the well being of the country.

3) India is the only country with so many diversity in languages and religion and all of them are provided with equal rights to each and everyone.

The negative aspect of being soft:-.
1) India is not only soft towards other nation but also soft towards the criminals and even the most offensive or disgraced crime are not treated with capital punishment.

2) India is deep rooted with corruption which is happily acceptable by the Nation. For instances 2g scam, AWG scam, mining scam etc which has cost India thousand of crore rupees.

3) So many social evil like dowry, child labour, gender inequality still prevail in the country.

On the basis of above points I want to conclude that Yes, India is a soft nation.

Yes, I support the statement. India is a soft nation, and I think we have to proud on it, and due to this characteristics India is growing, developing, and coined its name one the face of the globe. Due to India's soft nation policy India have no India is free from war and have a good relationship with other countries globally.

But I want to make one thing clear that India is soft country but India is not a weak county. India is like a respectful women, who always wants peace and try to be away from controversy, but when it come to her and her family she appear as the most strong and challenging person for her enemy.

I think any country is soft or hard is decided by the their peoples democrat and rule to punish a culprit. India is not a soft not hard, it is a notion of corrupted people & politicians.

1 - In case of Yakub Memon who involved in Mumbai blast every politician try to make his political profit by supporting Yakub Memon Yachika. No body thinks about the damage of country by this blast.

2 - If a common men goes in any government office then no officer do the work without any bribe.

3 - I think punishment for crime in India is only for a common men. Because in this country a celebrity and politician never get punishment for their crime they do.

Due to the all above reasons I think that it is a corrupted country, efforts are made to reduce the corruption. But I think it is not possible because we have political parties who are thought for their own party and interest, they do not think about the country.
