Ancient Hindu Principles of Social and Economic Management: Are They Against Globalisation?(Report‪)‬

Abstract Some literature has been recently evolving analysing the issue of globalisation from religious perspectives. Distinguishing between economic management, social welfare and cultural ways of life, this paper argues that the ancient Hindu principles of social and economic management have not been against globalisation. However, the paper does not accept an argument that cultural globalisation means Indians or Hindus give up their traditional ways of marrying and change their life-styles. Arguing that love marriages have never been beyond the Hindu traditions, the paper in particular questions, why new economic possibilities under globalisation should break the traditional social structures in any society?
