GLOBALISATION is like boarding a flight. Once you board it, you cannot get off until you reach the designated destination. The only difference is that, when we board the flight, we know where we are headed. In the case of globalisation, we do not know the destination, its climate, its features, or its surroundings.
This is where the uncertainty and fear of globalisation stem from, and this is why it is an issue of debate in the world now. For us – the people of the Himalayas – the journey towards globalisation is replete with uncertainty and vulnerability.
