  • Modernisation originally referred to improvement in technology and production, but later came to mean the wider path of development associated with west Europe and North America.
  • In India, modernisation developed in a colonial context and therefore had a different history from the west.
  • Modernity assumes universal commitments, cosmopolitan attitudes, science, choice over birth, achieved identity over ascribed identity, and bureaucratic organisation of work.
