Impact of Globalization on Culture

Impact of Globalization on farming People around the globe are more connected to each(prenominal) other today than ever before in the history of mankind. cultivation and m hotshoty flow more quickly than ever. Goods and services produced in one part of the world are increasingly available in entirely parts of the world. International travel is more frequent. International communication is commonplace. We cognise in an intensely interdependent world in which all the earths peoples with their Brobdingnagian differences of culture and historical experience are compressed together in instant communication.We face today a world of almost blank space promise which is also a world of terminal danger. This phenomenon has been titled Globalization. Indian culture which in effect means Hindoo culture, Hindu religion, Hindu society, Hindu civilization, Hindu way of life are under the deadly threat of the ruthless forces of Globalization today. What went by the name of Colonialism in u nblemished history textbooks produced in the days of British Raj has been replaced today by the equivalent word of Globalization.The unbridled expansion of western culture has continued at an intensify rate along with the denigration and decline of Hindu culture, civilization, religion, art, literature and customs. This new-sprung(prenominal) Colonialism has taken on several new faces or rather get on new masks. It cleverly masquerades itself through labels and slogans like democracy, humanitarian rights, sexual practice equality, internationalism, free trade and humanitarianism. In the name of modernization and Globalization it pretends to be uplifting peoples whom it is really exploiting.This is not very different in each kind or intent from old air jacketern Colonialism British Imperialism in the Indian context which vaunted itself as the benign bringer of Civilization and culture to the furious world. It was given the glorious title of White Mans Burden. What has been its impact on culture in India? Every educated Indian seems to believe that nothing in Hindu India, past or present, is to be approved unless recognized and recommended by an appropriate authority in the West.There is an all-pervading presence of a positive, if not worshipful, attitude towards everything in western society and culture, past as strong as present in the name of progress, reason and science. Nothing from the West is to be rejected unless it has first been weighed and found wanting by a Western evaluation. Swamy Vivekananda foresaw the dangers of Globalization as early as in 1893 when he spoke at the Parliament of World Religions in Chicago. To quote his moving words Shall India die?Then, from the world all spirituality impart be extinct, all sweet-souled sympathy for religion will be extinct, all ideality will be extinct and in its place will reign the duality of lust and luxury as the male and female deities, with money as its priest, fraud, force, and competitio n its ceremonies, and human soul its sacrifice. Such a thing atomic number 50 never be. Precisely such a terrible thing is pickings place in India today on account of the inexorable and unalterable process of Globalization.
