- Abstract
There exists a long tradition of research and analysis in India on the conceptual and substantive dimensions of culture at various levels of its existence: the local, the regional and the national. The anxieties about the impact of globalization and marketization of economy, media and information systems, the leisure and style of life etc., which have direct impact upon the symbolic contents and the foundations of the tradition, have today generated anxious debate among the scholars, the people and the political parties on the policy responses of the state. The new institutional innovations that globalization may bring about in society are: market, trade and finance, communication and media, technology and science, migration and inter-cultural transactions. There are related issues of tourism, mobility of professionals and the emergence of diasporic sub-cultures. It has been experienced that every step of movement towards economic, political and cultural modernization, taken by the state in India, is responded to by the people with an enhanced sense of selfconsciousness and awareness of identity. Cultural modernization, sponsored by the forces of globalization, is resented if it encroaches upon or does not promote the core cultural values of society, its language, social practices and styles of life.
