Impact of globalisation on India has been multi dimensional which needs to be discussed in some detail

Globalisation is the process of increasing and intensifying interconnectedness among societies, institutions along financial, commercial, cultural and social domains.

It refers to the metamorphosis of the Homo Sapien community.

The transformation into a single entity notwithstanding their economic, cultural and social differences.

Economy


You might be wondering what was the impact on the economy, well this was the impact-

Culture and Society


You should notice that culture and society were affected too, how, this is the way-

From the societal perspective, India found itself absorbing and assimilating the positive and negative things of western and other societies.

From a cultural perspective-

India went through distinct changes, while Indian culture and practices particularly the Indic culture and practices were exported to other parts of the world.

Globalisation allowed the dissemination of such practices and changes on a mass scale.

The most important among them was the export of Indic soft power indicators like Yoga and the idea of sustainable development.

One of the key challenges of the globalisation process was to promote the syncretic order as far as the domestic issues of India was concerned.

This means promoting a cosmopolitan way of life.

Security
