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.

In India, we find that all the foreign television channels like Star, MTV, Channel V, and Cartoon Network use Indian languages. McDonald’s sells only vegetarian and chicken products. McDonald’s goes fully vegetarian during the Navaratri festival. These are examples of __________?
