The present work contends that guided by the politico–economic transnational practices, globalization has emerged as a totalizing process in terms of both hegemonic structures and homogenizing cultural traits. It is an ideological derivative, rather, a neo–liberal reincarnation of the earlier conceptualizations of progress, growth–obsessed industrialization, modernization, glorification of the ‘invisible hand’ of the market, objectification of nature and an instrumental treatment of humanity.
The work further contends that Gandhi is the first major political thinker–activist to have challenged the arrogant imperialist West–centric model of development. Gandhi’s critique, it is argued, is not a romantic declaration of war on the consequences of progress, but a revolt against its hegemonizing political essence and its ever–spiralling politico–economic ambitions of dominating the world.
