This is the indosphere. The areas of strong Indian influence in the world. Of course, the Indian subcontinent is very Indian, but look at nations in light orange. In south east asia, the under belly of China, the culture, language, religion, and scripts are still Indian.
Now, China itself is highly influenced by India. Though they will never accept now, much of their religion and cultural practices are shaped by indic religions. Even their language and tonal system has Indian influence.
The Indian influence extends as far as Japan. Where their religions, script, and culture has been influenced by India. But, we will still see Indians with colonized mind comment below, "how does it matter now?"
It matters because it is soft power. It can be revived and the indosphere can be a great ally and partner for India. Instead we are allowing adversaries to poison the people of these nations against India, while we ridicule ourselves.

Your iPhone has a USB-C port because Europe passed a law. Europe is only 7% of Apple's sales. That 7% rewrote every iPhone on the planet, including the one in your pocket.
In October 2022, the European Parliament passed a law requiring every new phone sold in Europe to use the same plug, USB-C, by the end of 2024. Apple had fought this idea for years, arguing that forcing one standard would slow innovation. Three weeks after the vote, Apple's marketing chief Greg Joswiak sat on a panel at the Wall Street Journal's tech conference and gave up the fight: "We'll have to comply."
Eleven months later, Apple launched the iPhone 15. It had a USB-C port. The model sold in Berlin, Chicago, Mumbai, and Shanghai was the same phone.
Apple could have built a USB-C iPhone for Europe and kept the old Lightning plug (in iPhones since 2012) for every other country. That would have kept Lightning alive, and Lightning was a real business. Apple ran something called the "Made for iPhone" program. If you wanted to make a Lightning cable, a dock, a car charger, or a speaker that actually worked with an iPhone, you paid Apple $99 a year to join, plus roughly $4 on every connector you sold. Thousands of companies paid in.
But making two different iPhones is expensive. Apple sold about 247 million of them in 2025. Two designs means two factories, two parts orders, two boxes, two spare cables in the box, two warranty pipelines. Cheaper to copy Europe's rule and ship one phone to the whole planet.
A law professor named Anu Bradford wrote about this pattern in a 2012 paper and a 2020 book. She called it the Brussels Effect. Europe has about 450 million people who buy things. Big enough that companies set the rules for everyone, everywhere, to match whatever Europe says. Your cookie pop-ups come from Europe, a law called GDPR. Safer chemicals in your shampoo and sofa come from Europe, a law called REACH. The new App Store rule that lets you install apps from outside Apple's store comes from Europe, the Digital Markets Act. The USB-C plug on your phone is the same story.
The ripple is already spreading. India said every phone sold there needs USB-C by March 2025. California is working on the same law. Apple kept selling one last Lightning iPhone, the iPhone 14, outside Europe until September 2025, then quietly dropped it when the iPhone 17 came out. Lightning is gone from every store in every country. 7% of Apple's money rewrote 100% of Apple's phones.

If the EU is so irrelevant, why is every single iPhone sold globally a USB-C?
