Are global interconnections now to India and the World? Give reasons.

No doubt, Globalisation has connected India to the world. There are so many facts proving that:

1. Globalisation indicates the growing independence between different people, regions and countries in the world as social and economic relationships come to stretch world wide.
2. Globalisation also affects employment. The middle class youth from urban Centres, globalisation and the IT revolution has opened up a new career opportunities.
3. Due to Globalisation, a new international division of labour has come out in which more and more routine manufacturing production and employment is done in the Third World Cities.
4. The Globalisation affects the labouring population. The MNCs seek those countries where they may have cheap labour. India is also one of such countries.
5. Globalisation also causing political changes, The neo-liberal economic measures have changed the whole economic and political vision. The growth of international and regional mechanisms for political collaboration has made new vistas e.g. EU, ASEAN, SAARC and SAFTA are playing an important role.
6. Globalisation is also affecting our culture. It is posing serious threat and there are heated debates in our society not just about political and economic issues but also about changes in clothes, styles, music, films, languages, body language.
