Meaning: Integration of the Indian economy with the global economy.
Detailed Explanation
Globalisation refers to the process where a country, such as India, becomes interconnected with the rest of the world economically. This means that trade, investment, and services are no longer limited to domestic markets but expand to international domains. The aim is to integrate domestic markets with global markets.
Examples & Analogies
Think of globalisation like a large city connecting with neighboring towns. Just as goods, services, and people can move freely between these areas, countries also engage in trade and commerce that cross their borders, allowing them to access new markets and customers.
