Abstract

It is a universally accepted theory that globalization helps in competition, and competition is always good for the market and consumers. The presently available literature represents that there is a conflict between globalization and democracy. Relation between militarism, globalization, and democracy in India is to be discussed in this research paper which will be based on different studies done by other authors. Militarism is the belief, opinion, or action of those people who think that the military should use methods to gain power and achieve the set goals of the nation. When whole the world works together and exchanges its products and services with each other is called globalization. A major impact of globalization is on the economy and trade. Democracy gives the human right to speak, eat and do all the things which people want to do under the constitutional framework. Presently the most important issue everywhere is environmental degradation which is only because of more industrialization. India has opened all the sectors including defense for foreign direct investment (FDI) but there was a huge
degradation of the environment.
