the questions that follow :

“The effect of globalization is far-reaching. It affects us
all but affects us differently. Thus, while for some it
may mean new opportunities, for others the loss of
livelihood. Women silk spinners and twisters of Bihar
lost their jobs once the Chinese and Korean silk yarn
entered the market. Weavers and consumers prefer
this yarn as it is somewhat cheaper and has a shine.
Similar displacements have come with the entry of
large fishing vessels into Indian waters. These vessels
take away the fish that used to be earlier collected by
Indian fishing vessels. The livelihood of women fish
sorters, dryers, vendors and net makers thereby get
affected.”
