"This work is a pioneering attempt to investigate and examine the impact of globalization on one of the most vulnerable section of the society like Buddhist in India. The phenomenon of globalization has remained an abstract for many years and it continues to be so even today. This study is an honest attempt on the part of the researcher to document and assess the invisible as well as visible impact of globalization on the socio-economic conditions of the poor sections of the society and their perceptions towards globalization. It is hope that the study will be an eye opening to those who are involved in the reconstructions of the society based on equity and justice. Even if the study pertains to the experiences of the Buddhist in India its global implications and connections cannot be overlooked. The phenomenon called globalizations has adversely hit the marginalized communities almost everywhere in the globe. This book could be a step forward to attract the attention of the international communities towards the Buddhist perspective on globalization and reinitiate the process of making of the better world for the future generations to come."
