A Study on Globalization and its Impact on Social Movement in India

Globalization gave new direction to social movements in India; they connected international networks, used information technology. Growing inequality, the rural-urban divide, and corporate influence have created new conflicts, fueling movements based on issues such as the environment, tribal rights, and labor rights, which have become connected on a global scale. The liberalization, privatization, and globalization policies adopted by India in 1991 accelerated the process of globalization in the country, leading to major changes in the economy, society, and culture. This is due to the increasing exchange of goods, services, capital, and technology between countries, which has made the world more connected. Information technology and communication tools made it easier for movements to connect with other like-minded groups and organizations on a global scale.
