Globalization has been resisted and has received criticism from different quarters in India. Which of the following critiques has been correctly associated with the given politically affiliated groups?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → The left-wing protests are directed towards economic liberalization voiced through political parties and various forums.
"Social movements play a role in helping people make sense of the world around them and finding ways to deal with matters that trouble them. Resistance to globalisation in India has come from different quarters. There have been left wing protests to economic liberalisation voiced through political parties as well as through forums like the Indian Social Forum. Trade unions of industrial workforce as well as those representing farmer interests have organised protests against the entry of multinationals. The patenting of certain plants like Neem by American and European firms has also generated considerable opposition. Resistance to globalisation has also come from the political right. This has taken the form of objecting particularly to various cultural influences — ranging from the availability of foreign T.V. channels provided by cable networks, celebration of Valentine’s Day, and westernisation of the dress tastes of girl students in schools and colleges."
