Today, economic globalization takes a standardized consumer culture
in contrast to both the Hindu scriptural ill-defined economic value systems and neo-Marxist stoic view,
which opposes international trade, commerce, and multinational finance.
Hindu revivalists, globalization is an attack on swadeshi economic self-reliance, believed to be a spiritual corrective.
My study raises and verifies three interconnected issues First, what have been the cultural urges in
ancient and medieval eras in promoting globalization? How do they differ from the current trends?
Second, what has been the extent and direction of culture in accelerating global trade links? Last,
what are the results of globalization, especially in making poverty worse than before in poverty-stricken
modern India?
