The next dominant theme in

our history seems to be the
Political Globalisation with
our ancestors having settled
down in small rural and
urban
set-ups.

emergence of the community

political globalisation by
marching into the Indian
subcontinent

witness the emergence of
Integrated
Globalization
whereby no single theme is
likely to emerge on the top.
In fact, the Globalisation of
all aspects of our lives is
likely to continue in an
integrated manner with near
equal importance to each.
