Globalization has redefined the idea of 'community' and 'kinship' in Indian society. Do you agree? Justify your answer.

Globalization led to the integration of worldwide social relations which link different localities in such a manner that a local happening is influenced by an event many miles away (as per Anthony Giddens).

Globalization Redefining Community & Kinship:

(i) Emergence of digital communities due to increasing connectivity

(ii) Community of bearers, streams etc.

(iii) Creation of neo-family structures such as double income no kids, single parent family

(ii) Residing in urban areas due to rising cost of occupational rigidity

Traditional Elements still remained:

(i) IL high lights functional longing is even though children stay away but still contribute to land family

(ii) Total family size prevalent in rural India

(iii) Patriarchy [till the norm (SP high)

Thus while globalization has redrawn some elements there to a 'cultural lag' in other more vital aspects of kinship & community
