MNC Culture and its impact on Indian Cultural Diversity

Most of the arguments in this analysis are not valid at all. You are saying that the opening of India to "cheap and filthy material" from the big bad West has encouraged more dating and celebration of valentine's day, which you made them sound as inherently bad things, and then followed by the slippery slope of leading to more call girls and the transmission of STDs? There's obviously sound argumentation missing here. Prostitution is one of the oldest trades in the world and STDs exist in every part of the world including India, with or without globalisation. This is just one example of many of your numerous flawed arguments, like the argument that improved communications lead to more accidents on the streets?? And then you blame it on globalisation for having brought new phones to India that allow its people to take photo of "pretty girls" that in turn leads to accidents. Why don't you blame it on the pretty girls then and call for forbidding them to be out on the streets? This is the same as you blaming it on globalisation for causing more accidents on the streets. Shouldn't individuals be accountable for their own actions and how they handle new forms of communication, instead of blaming it on new technology itself? Your arguments are simply petty and lack logic and coherence, with too many slippery slopes. 

Nice read!We should remember that "India conquered and dominated China culturally for 20 centuries without ever having to send a single soldier across her border!"

The globalisation in indian context should be considered in context of our population and poverty at large scale-this can be verified from the number of people below poverty line (BPL), and the benefit of so called development ie; economical,infrastructural or cultural on indian community at large ( most of the people stay in villages and small towns)whether is tangible and actual or it is confined to matros, business persons, politicians, beurocrats and the middle class, the people of affluent class. It's very unfortunate that most of the persons grown up in middle class and living in big cities and metros are not susceptible and sensitive to the vernacular india and they are not able to see beyond their tunnel vision. Global economy, global market, global access to technology and tailor made jargans in favour of the fenomena globalisation not holds good in indian context. Bascally the the change is in one direction only eg common wealth games and infrastructure in delhi is beneficial to public at large ? It's only an emotional acceptance because we are indian, nothing more than that. One should the the work culture, working atmosphere, amenities, discipline, cleanliness, law and order situation and grace of humanbeing in india and western countris also in developed asian countries, are these comparable. How e live here ? weat are our social concerns ? what is the accountability of big business houses to indian public ? Are the believe in quality goods and quality life ? How are our lawmakers ? How is law and order situation ? Whether globalisation improved our aesthetics and social cohesion ? If not then every indian should think about this virtual development.

First of all thanks for this article.. but i want to let you know that however globalization has made some adverse impact on Indian culture but it's benefits to us are far more than it's disadvantage..with the help of globalization our standard of living has been risen. Due to this, our economy is rising at 2nd fastest speed.I can consider globalization much better.

A thought provocking article.  We should seriously think about it and inculcate in the minds of young generation and make them understand about the quality of life rather than what you earn the quantity of life with so much of money you earn from MNCs.   Art literature, science & technology, skilled human capital etc are far more important than earning quick money by getting employment in an MNC.   R& D should be of indegenous to our culture.  Indians are across the globe, we touched the Moon and poised to go even higher.   We should have our identity, it should not be affected by the globalisation.

good article

good analysis on a very contemporary topic...
