Answer

Effect of globalisation on culture (and its impact on women)-
  • India has an open approach to cultural influences but also exhibits fear that local cultures would be overtaken by globalisation.
  • Changes are seen in clothes, style, music , films, languages and body language, etc.
  • Intermixing of the global with local cultures led to homogenisation of culture- “Glocalisation of culture”.
  • Eg. Cartoon network translated in Indian language; Mc Donald becoming vegetarian during Navratri.
  • Globalisation has sometimes led to unjust practices against women.
Eg. Defending undemocratic and discriminating practices against women in the name of cultural identity.
  • Women’s issues in one country can receive support from other countries/International organisations.
Eg. UNIFEM, UNICEF supports girl child programmes.

Colonialism was a story apart in the very scale and intensity of the changes that it brought about. Some of these changes were deliberate while some took place in an unintended fashion. For example, we saw how Western education was introduced to create Indians who would manage British colonialism. Instead, it led to the growth of a nationalist and anti-colonial consciousness.
