In his 'convergence thesis' Clark Kerr said that an industrialised India of the 21st century shares more features with China or USA of the 21st century than with 19th century India. What did he mean by this? |
Stronger trade relations across countries in 21st century than in 19th century. Social and economic equality across countries in 21st century. Rising similarity of culture across countries due to modernisation and industrialisation. Use of modern methods of production across countries. |
Rising similarity of culture across countries due to modernisation and industrialisation. |
The correct answer is Option (3) → Rising similarity of culture across countries due to modernisation and industrialisation. Clark Kerr’s convergence thesis argues that as countries industrialise, they begin to resemble one another more than their own past societies. Industrialisation and modernisation bring similar institutions, lifestyles, and social patterns, regardless of cultural or historical differences. |
