Abstract

It is evident that globalization is making the world smaller and more interconnected through online communications, forced and voluntary migration, trafficking, tourism, and transnational companies and non-governmental organizations. It brings about a different consciousness and “symbolizes a world in motion providing people with resources to new ways of being human in the fast changing world.†But what does globalization mean for marginalized people, such as, Dalit and tribal women, religious and sexual minorities in urban and rural India who do not have access to resources or whose resources are limited or even destroyed by globalizing processes and/or excluded from certain development processes? How do these marginalized groups perceive globalization? It is evident that since India has opened its market in the 1990s, people of all regions, religions, classes, castes, and gender have experienced changes in their working and living situation. Globalization, however, does not have the same effect on a Dalit woman as it has on a Muslim woman. The differences of their marginalization result in a different globalization impact. This article discusses these differences and provides a feminist analysis of globalization. Furthermore, it argues that power relations play an important role in conceptualizing marginalization in both urban and rural India.
