Cosmopolitanism and Culture- A special reference to India

As we all know, Cosmopolitanism may simply refer to more inclusive and globalised moral, culture, economic, and political relationships between nations or individuals of different nations. On the other hand culture can be defined as the assemblage of values, beliefs, traditions and different practices of certain groups of life which is transmitted from one generation to the next and sometimes some greater or lesser modification is made in it. Cosmopolitanism has gradually been influencing the culture around the world. India is no exception to it.

In this paper, I will try to explicate the inherent economic interests of the process of cosmopolitanism and its exploitation of culture.
