Abstract
Globalization is not a recent concept as people worldwide have been exchanging their information, ideas, and services for centuries. “Globalization refers to the current hyper-acceleration of communication and trade across geo-political borders, though its roots can be traced back to European conquest and colonization on several continents” (Singh 2006). “Globalization is a process that involves worldwide or all – embracing reach or impact of any phenomenon in the human society, which is organized at many levels – local, provincial, national, regional, continental, and global. It is contributing towards the shrinking of time and space beyond the nation-states” (Kumar 2011).
