    While many of us very enthusiastically remember Thomas Friedmans book on

    Globalization 3.0, we have forgotten a very interesting term he has also used to explain

    the social process going on in the world. Exactly ten years ago, before he wrote his

    famous book, Friedman wrote an article entitled: Wake up, smell Glocalization in

    India

    I find this term extremely relevant today and it explains a lot about what social

    anthropologists would call a tendency in a world where there is universalization as well

    as particularization going on at the same time. Globalization does not just simply imply

    homogenization whereby we all speak the same language and eat the same food and

    dress in the same boring manner. Globalization is also creating a kind of glokalization,

    that is, a local response emphasizing the unique elements of all cultures, thereby

    creating indigenous patterns which are not identical to responses elsewhere.

    Just last week I had the opportunity to hold talks on India at Copenhagen University,

    and one more speaker on the panel was the revered former faculty member at John F.

    Kennedy school of Government at Harvard University and a former United States

    ambassador to India, Robert Blackwill. It was interesting to listen to Blackwills

    presentation, but what struck me was his remarkable acumen and knowledge of

    Gujaratis as businessmen. Once again, a unique thing about Gujarat is the ethos of

    creating a good business atmosphere. And this narrative reaches as far as the shores of

    USA.

    So when Angela Merkel of Germany chooses to hold a talk in USA in German, Francois

    Hollande of France prefers to speak French, Putin Russian and Narendra Modi of India

    chooses to speak Hindi, then it should be seen as a healthy sign of glocalization.

    We as human beings have a strong need to glocalize our presence. It is better to be

    originals than copy-cats. The world is not turning into one homogeneous unit where

    we all end up speaking the same language. Thank God, for it would be extremely boring

    to live in such a world. There is room for diversity and there are good reasons for

    people to speak their respective languages wherever they are.

    Hindi and Sanskrit have given many words to other languages. The words for Father

    and Mother in Scandinavia are derived from Sanskrit. The Scandinavian word for

    knowledge Ved comes from Sanskrit Veda. So on and so forth. Why should India

    forget its roots when everyone else finds treasure in our past?

    Therefore it is a sign of tolerance that Narendra Modi, who grew up speaking Gujarati,

    has taken great effort to master Hindi, a language that unites India these days. It is

    Indias way of particularizing its culture. Indian English is another way to do it. Banning

    junk food in Indian schools is probably the third healthy way to preserve the good old

    habits of eating healthy food and preserving the unique food culture that India

    possesses.

    We have to indigenize our cultural and eating habits. We can be both global and local

    at the same time. We can call the world a Vasudev Kutumba and when the world

    comes to us, offer them Indian food and not junk food. The interesting phenomenon of

    glocalization is that it is also economically viable. Imagine the amount of money that

    we will save if we stop becoming diabetic because we make our children fat by letting

    them eat this unhealthy junk food.

    And the most important reason to glokalize is to create a sense of pride in being an

    Indian. Most prosperous nations also have a population that takes pride in being part

    of that nation. So is India finally glocalizing? One could also ask: Is Modi finally

    glocalizing India by speaking Hindi at international forums? Whats your take on that?

    Many liberals,intellectuals brought in Macaoulay\'s ethos will find it not very easy

    to adjust to this new change.But I am very happy to note that for a change it is not

    the English speaking elite but home grown chaiwala who is setting the rules.I feel

    The other problem with the non-Hindi languages in India is that they are all

    primitive, have pathetically poor vocabularies, and sound very brutal to the ears. I

    can\'t understand how can normal human beings speak such primitive languages

    in 21st century. No wonder that all the educated people in non-Hindi areas have

    adopted English, because they know that their own languages are an insult to

    human intelligence, and they can\'t even think properly in those languages. But,that is not the case with Hindi. Hindi is a language with a superior vocabulary and

    a glorious literary past. That is why Hindi is all set to dominate India, whether non-

    Hindi speakers like it or not. But, non-Hindi speakers do have the choice to stick to

    their brutal and primitive underdeveloped languages. That is why I encourage that

    non-Hindi speakers should either accept the domination of Hindi, or quit India

    while they still have time. Why wait to be kicked out instead?

    I congratulate Modiji to promote Hindi and also allowing for the domination ofHindi. That is the way things will be henceforth. If you don\'t believe me, just listen

    to his speech in chaste Hindi delivered in Parliament initiating the debate on the

    motion of thanks to the President. It is fabulous that a Gujarati is taking the

    initiative in this regard. But, I don\'t want Hindi to be imposed on the people who

    don\'t like Hindi. Therefore, I strongly encourage people of Deccan Peninsula

    (Marathi and Southies) to declare independence from India, because if they don\'t

    do it, they will be kicked out for sure. Why leave with complete humiliation, when

    you still have a chance to leave with self respect? Finally, we are all set to finally

    have a nation whose national language (and not the official one) is Hindi. I

    congratulate Modiji in this regard, and again encourage the non-Hindi speakers to

    leave India with dignity, or else they will have to just face the boot.

    identity. Most of those International leaders know English as well, but

    they use their National languages to identify them as Nationalists. Free

    Modi does not speak English well so he does not have any option but to speak in

    Hindi when he meets US president. Many people on earth do not speak and know

    english. That\'s normal and not a sign of ineligibility or incompetency. However

    since he is master of false image, he is trying to sell idea to us that he will promote

    Hindi at international stage when he speaks in Hindi. But no one will agree, right ?

    It is a very good article, imho. The Indian economy became truly global since the reforms of

    early 90\'s initiated by Dr. Manmohan Singh under Narsimha Rao\'s Congress govt. Our

    ability to communicate and conduct our business in English has been a major factor in theresurgence of India as a global economic powerhouse. The main contribution to this has

    essentially come from the IT sector with English as its back bone. The knowledge of English,

    more than any other language is a major plus point in our favour. India, after all, is an

    English speaking country. One can hear English mixed with local dialects all across India,

    even in villages. We must celebrate and take pride in the fact that we are better than

    Chinese, Russians or French, even a lot of Americans, British or Australians, both in written

    and spoken English. BUT, having said that, to most of us, it has remained an alien language.

    The reasons are obvious, basically because of the derisory attitudes and negligence of our

    ruling elite, bureaucracy and English media, certainly before the independence, and after by

    a Nehruvian dispensation, to our own very rich local languages. Take for example, Sanskrit,

    the mother of all our languages even the southern ones and Sinhalese have

    preponderance of Sanskrit words was passed of as a dead language by some of the JNU

    historians e.g. Romilla Thapar, Bipan Chandra, Iran Habit et al. This thread is not the write

    place to discuss Sanskrit, but will it suffice to say that almost the whole world, from SEAsia

    to Iran, to Urals and Baltics and to Western Europe owes to it a great deal for the evolution

    of their own languages. Take a lesson in Persian, Latin, Slav or German and find out Its

    about time to repair the damage done to our languages and literature by the colonial and

    leftist jugglers of history. For Modi to represent India in Hindi is an step in the right

    direction dont think Karunanidhi of DMK would object after all Lord Rama did exist

    Comparing Narendra Modi\'s Hindi speeches to the ones in French by Hollande or German

    by Merkel is a wrong analogy. German and French are the only languages spoken in

    Germany and France respectively, but Hindi is only one of the many languages spoken inIndia. Treating Hindi as a unifying language in India amounts to demeaning the status of

    Telugu, Malayalam, Gujarati, Bengali, Punjabi, Tamil, Oriya, Assamese, Marathi and the

    myriad other Indian languages, all of which have millions of speakers. The only language

    that can truly unify India is English. I am sorry to be ruffling the feathers of the Hindi
