Before elaborate explanation I must make a clear concept about “what is Hindi culture”.

It is the state language of whole India, though every province has its own language. Hindi culture is a most modern and developed culture and mostly it is a western style culture.

In what ways Hindi culture expanding its dominion through out the world that is the direct consequence of globalization. So we should become clear about what globalization is?
What is globalization?

Saskia sessen : writes that, a good part of globalization as “the dominations or elimination of state enforced restriction on exchanges across borders and the increasingly integrated and complex global system of production and exchange that has emerged as a result”.
(Wikipedia the Free Encyclopedia)
The inflow of foreign capital, technology, workers, music’s, movies, popular culture almost everything has resounded with globalization. Globalization is a heroic process and also is a sinister process.
Globalization theory examines the emergence of a global cultural system. It suggests that, “global culture is brought about by a variety of social and cultural developments”
[The Oxford Concise Dictionary of Sociology]
According to some scholars Globalization is not new. For thousand of years the inflow of globalization was active but it was so thin. Because, the transformation and communication system were very much weak. But with the development of technology the global communication become so easy. Since 1950, it has in a wide term.
[G.101.org.]
Globalization refers to the fact that we all increasingly live in one world .so that individuals, groups and nations become interdependent. It is created by the coming together of political, social, cultural, and economic factors.
[Giddens, Sociology, 5th edition]
It is necessary, first of all, to understand the national aspects of systems analysis in the context of global change and then consider its relevance for an appraisal of issues such as globalization.
[Giddens, Sociology, 5th edition]
Hiow globalization help this process?
Globalization is not a one way process, as some claim, but a two-way flow of images, information and influences. Global migration, media and telecommunications are contributing to the diffusion of cultural influences. [Giddens, Sociology, 5th edition]
As the world rapidly moves towards a single, unified economy, businesses and people move about the globe in increasing numbers in search of new markets and economic opportunities. As a result, the cultural map of the world change: net –works of peoples span national borders and even continents, providing cultural connections between their birth place and their adoptive countries.
[Appadurai ,986]
It is increasingly impossible for culture to exist as islands. There are few, if any places on earth on remote as to escape radio, television, air travel and the throngs of tourists they bring or the computer.
Today all the people, like ours, use machetes and other tools made in the united stated or Japan wear T-shirts and shorts manufactured in garment factories. We also have our stories broadcast to people atound the world through satellite television and the Internet.
Globalization is an ‘in here’ phenomenon that is affecting our intimate and personal lives in many diverse ways. Inevitably our personal lives have been altered as globalizing forces enter into our local contexts, our homes and our communities through impersonal sources –such as the media, the Internet and popular culture as well as through personal contact with individuals from other countries and cultures. Globalization is forcing people to live in a more open reflexive way.
[Giddens, Sociology, 5th edition].
What factors play an important role in this process?
The factors that play an important role or produce a global culture according to Giddens, this include-
1. Television:- which brings one culture like, Hindi culture, into home throughout the world daily.
2. Global citizens
3. A host of international organizations
4. Electronic communication (television, telephone, E-mail, Internet and world wide web).
[Giddens, Sociology, 5th edition]

Hindi culture, by his film/movie style, now is one of the enriched cultures, as a result the young people of our country enjoy various program of Hindi culture through these media and our traditional Bengali culture getting Hindinized day by day.
In our present gliobalized world which objects play a great role for Hindinization of Bengali culture this include-
Satellite TV:-
Internet: - many believe that the rapid growth of the internet around the world will hasten the spread of a global culture. As the internet spreads around the world, there is evidence that it is in many ways compatible with traditional cultural values as well, perhaps even a means of strengthening them. [Giddens, Sociology, 5th edition]
Consider, for example, our country, Bangladesh, a traditional Bengali culture that has recently experienced string Hindi, American and European influences. Most of the young generation (student) aged in (18-30) like their counterparts in Hindi many surf the Internet for new ideas, information and films products.
Through Internet, we van get all kinds of information about any culture (Hindi) films of any countries (Hindi film) and shard ours one. Hindi films are made in such a way that we can defined it as type of “glocalization” because they make films in western context or foreign perspective but it has an own cultural based (Indian/ Hindi). Internet is a source of information, entertainment that provides all kinds of books and entertainments support (film, game etc.) by using computer we can get Hindi films, information easily. It has made easy to connect with one culture to another. Our present generation use internet in a large number by which they are getting introduced with Hindi culture and taking it spontaneously for its great regulation.
Other media:-
Radio, television, E-mail, telephone etc. are used to communicate with one another, one culture to another. Through these medium we can see Hindi programmed heat song and news and also express our opinion about it. Above all with the development of information technological we get new and see what is happening in the world even I surface.
