Tagore is very famous in China. I can recite a few poems written by Tagore. Tagore is also often talked about on the Chinese Internet. His poetry is full of philosophy. Of course. Only philosophy. There's nothing else.
The problem is. On the Indian people. I did not see the power of Tagore's words. I only saw Modi Ji's joke.
Well I have to admit you are correct.
However - educated people and uneducated people in India are two distinct things.
There is a lot of commonality between the values of educated people (intelligentsia and academics) in both countries.
There are too many pseudo-educated people in India (in fact all of South Asia) nowadays.
They are too loud on the Internet.
These are people who claim themselves as educated - yet, have no principles or values. Mostly new rich.
I avoid mixing with such people.
Life is simpler this way.
