Answer. Yes, I do agree with the statement that the globalisation leads to cultural heterogeneity
as it is responsible for the dynamic mixture of the cultures of different countries. For e.g. the
jeans culture and khadi culture mixed in India and gave rise to new cultural clothing.
Q11 How has Globalization impacted on India and how is India, in turn, impacting on
Globalization?
Answer. The globalisation has affected India in following ways :
(a) The political globalisation has affected the political realms of India by minimising the role of
state. The exploitative tendencies of entreprises have increased considerably by their excessive
interference in political avenue.
(b) The economic globalisation has made the concentration of monetary power in the hands of
5%, which leads to drastic economic inequalities and wrong economic estimation.
(c) The cultural globalisation has created a new form of culture in the context of India, which is
quite dynamic and diverse.
India has affected globalisation as it has increased the space for Asian economic and cultural
avenues to have an effect upon the reductionist inclination towards the European dynamism. It
has increased the third world sensitivity within the realm of Asian Globalisation.
