Main Body
Globalization has impacted all aspects of culture in India.
Globalization Infusing Indian Festivals with Commercial Elements:
1Increased consumerism (eg) Only white clothes during Holi & not old
2Materialism infused (eg) Insta culture of posting Aesthetic photos.
3Traditional Pooja significance to online commercialization (eg) e-darshan on Ujjain Mahe Arati
4Narrow Perception of celebrating festival ritualistic significance undermined for chasing stuffies.
But it has also kept popular these in New ways.
1Global celebration of Festival (eg) Diwali in White House.
2Increasing Acceptance of Indian Methods. (eg) Recent Video of Hawaiki diving House warming in USA - attracted Fire Brigade but later understand.
3Inclusion & global identity through series like 'Never Have I ever'
4Increased sense of Belongingness in foreign land (eg) BAPs temple in UAE & celebrating Pushtan.
Thus Globalization has impacted us both ways.
