Question

In India, the resistance to globalization has not come from :

• A. Left wing
• B. Right wing
• C. Trade unions
• D. Multinational companies

Hint:

Groups that lose from globalisation, such as workers and nationalists, resisted it. Multinational companies gain from it, so they did not.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
The question is framed with the word "not". We must find the group from which resistance to globalisation did not come in India. So three options are groups that opposed it and one group did not.

Step 2: Recall who opposed globalisation in India:
In India the opposition came from many sides. The left wing parties and the trade unions said that it hurts workers and the poor. Some right wing groups, such as the Swadeshi Jagran Manch, said it harms Indian industry and culture.

Step 3: Check option (A) Left wing.
The left wing sees globalisation as a tool of rich nations and big companies and has opposed it strongly. So resistance came from them. (A) is not the answer.

Step 4: Check option (B) Right wing.
Right wing groups oppose the cultural and economic effects of globalisation and ask for economic nationalism. So resistance came from them as well. (B) is not the answer.

Step 5: Check option (C) Trade unions.
Trade unions fear loss of jobs and lower wages when industries face foreign competition. They have protested often. (C) is not the answer.

Step 6: Check option (D) Multinational companies.
Multinational companies gain from open markets, so they back globalisation instead of resisting it. So resistance did not come from them, and (D) is the answer.

Final Answer:
Resistance to globalisation did not come from multinational companies, option (D).
