Social Change and Development in India: Globalisation and Social Change

Question:
If globalization is about global interconnections we can ask whether this is really a new phenomenon. Was India or the different parts of the world not interacting with each other in earlier times? India was not isolated from the world even two thousand years ago. We have read in our history textbooks about the famous Silk Route, which centuries ago connected India to the great civilizations, which existed in China, Persia, Egypt, and Rome. We also know that throughout India’s long past, people from different parts came here, sometimes as traders, sometimes as conquerors, and sometimes as migrants in search of new lands and settled down here. In remote Indian villages often people ‘recall’ a time when their ancestors lived elsewhere, from where they came and settled down where they now live.
From the given options, what would make the best sense of Globalisation?
Options:
Globalization refers to the growing interdependence between different people, regions, and countries in the world.
Although economic forces are an integral part of globalization, it is wrong to believe that economic forces alone lead to globalization.

All of the above.

All of the above.
Explanation:
