"Globalisation" - NDTV , 16th May

Globalisation is an exciting word without 'Frame of Reference' -it meansrmany things .
When was there a Civilisation without Globalisation ?
In 15Th Century A.D (1492), Columbus tried it Feudal way, when the Earth was 'Flat'.
Long long before( 3rd Century B.C,) Alexandaer advvanced Eastward (there was no 'West') (every frog in a pond thought nothing was vaster than his pool). And yet ,Asoka's Empire was vaster than Alexander(ref: H.G Wells )
Napoleon Globalised through War, for Democracy to advance . And French and American Revolutions built the stage further and vaster.
The Two World Wars brought all corners of the Globe closer through Industrial Magic, and Atom Bombs( Right Brothes started it and Einstein gave the final touch.)
Yet the older World, though poorer, was happier too.( Was a time when we were dreaming the day when our pay cheque would touch four-figure i.e Rs 1000/= pm . And now ?)
Now Globalisation is an inevitable process with 1% PEOPLE DANGEROUSLY rich and 70 % being 'ironed' with hot Economic Magic-iron-press.Globalisation is a Magic -wand for aggressively jogging richer Class refusing to recognise any boundary.
