India’s diaspora is bigger and more influential than any in history

Because India is composed of many completely different races, languages, and thus cultures - you can't say India is "culturally influential" because there's no such thing as "Indian culture".

They do share a common religion though - I think that might be the source for what we call "Indian culture"? Like Islamic culture is a thing, even though Muslims are all over the world and vary widely. In much the same way, I think "Indian culture" (Hindu culture) is recognisable, even if people speak different languages and belong to different races.

Not much of that (nor Scots Gaelic, nor Irish) in the Empire.
