Abstract

Globalization has profoundly reshaped many aspects of cultures and religions around the world and Hinduism is no exception. This paper examines the multifaceted impact of Globalization on Hinduism highlighting both transformative and adaptive processes within the religion. Globalization has facilitated the spread of Hindu practices and ideas across the globe leading to a significant diaspora that has both preserved and modified traditional Hindu practices. It has fostered a greater exchange of religious and cultural ideas leading to the hybridization of practices and beliefs. Additionally Globalization has influenced Hinduism through media technology and international interactions contributing to the rise of new religious movements and a reevaluation of traditional practices. This study delves into these dynamics analyzing how Globalization has both challenged and enriched Hinduism and offers insights into the future trajectory of this ancient religion in a rapidly changing world.
