The idea of 'the world as one family' and the 'Global Village' has become more of a reality with the advent of globalisation and technological advancement. Indeed, travelling within the country as well as international travel has become a routine experience. Globalisation has made nations increasingly interdependent, whether in the transfer of raw materials, food, technology, ideas, or other resources. However, disruption in ecosystems and supply-chains are often perceived as unhealthy for development, as they may cause imbalances in the country's economy. Globalisation not only impacts the economy but also brings socio-political, socio-economic, and socio-cultural changes in everyday life. For instance, cultural globalisation propelled by a country's soft power - such as Yoga in India - has had a tremendous influence on culture and livelihood worldwide. The present paper attempts to study the pros and cons of globalisation and the changing livelihood patterns that shaping the lives of the tribal people of Arunachal Pradesh, particularly the Phong Nocte of Soha village.
