Effects of Globalization on Indian Culture and Folklore Artist & Traditional Arts and Crafts
Boons on Indian Culture
– Cultural Exchange: Through globalization, people from different parts of the world get to share in idea as well as customs and traditions; whereby Indian culture is seen stretching throughout the world. Today overseas Indians celebrate Indian festivals, spicy Indian food, and Indian style of Yoga.
– Modernization of Art Forms: Since the culture has been exposed and recognized on the international platform in relation to traditional Indian arts including dance, music and handicrafts; it has been passed down to the younger generation and modified according to contemporary settings.
– Access to Global Platforms: Digital media makes it possible for artists to take their works to world forums thus increasing awareness of artist’s work as well as the Indian art and culture.
Some issues facing traditional art industry As much as art has developed across the seasons, there has been several.
– Loss of Unique Cultural Identities: The global trends will duplicate the traditional habits, and, hence, original cultural inspirations may be confined.
– Decline in Indigenous Practices: It is argued that modern forms may be preferred to traditional ones, and so some aspects of indigenous art forms may be less practised over time.
– Commercialization: Art forms due to the reason that they are traditional are commodified to fit the globalizing demand, a factor that diminishes the uniqueness of art forms.
Effect on Other Traditional Cultures
– Dance and Music: Of the two classical styles of dancing, Bharatanatyam and Kathak have evolved and can now be of interest to the audience since some of the choreographics they incorporate deal with modern concepts.
– Handicrafts: The Indian handicrafts have again emerged into operation due to the increased demand of these items in foreign market. But when question of originality arises, artisans have had their issues.
– Cinema: It will also emerge that globalization has impacted Indian cinema most especially Bollywood by imbibing the international flavor together with the conventional fashion of narrative mode in the industry.

Indian classical dance and music are deeply rooted in the country’s rich cultural heritage. While these art forms are highly appreciated in certain regions and among specific communities, they often do not receive the widespread attention and recognition they deserve. In India, cultural appreciation varies significantly across different regions and societies. Some areas are rich in culture, with people actively participating in and encouraging the arts, while other places show less engagement.
Despite India’s reputation for its diverse and vibrant culture, classical dance and music often find themselves overshadowed by more contemporary or popular forms of entertainment. In metropolitan areas, the younger generation might gravitate more towards modern music and dance, leaving classical forms to be celebrated mainly in cultural hubs, temples, and during festivals.
However, there are still numerous dedicated artists, gurus, and institutions working tirelessly to preserve and promote these traditions. They hold performances, conduct workshops, and offer training to ensure that classical dance and music continue to thrive. Moreover, there has been a recent resurgence of interest in classical arts, thanks to social media and digital platforms, which allow wider and more accessible dissemination of performances and educational content.
Overall, while Indian classical dance and music might not always get the attention they deserve on a broader scale, they remain an integral and cherished part of India’s cultural fabric, continuously finding ways to adapt and remain relevant in contemporary society.
