Abstract
Ideological frameworks play an important role in ensuring sustainability and stability of any system. Globalization has been a guiding force in world history as well as international relations. Though it always existed, yet its pervasive presence in lives of people and nations that led to blurring down of time-space distinctions can be attributed to neo- liberalism with rampant advances in technology. Globalization was a boon as well as bane; however, its complete rollback seems unworkable as a policy proposition. The paper highlights how there is a need to rework on contours of global governance issues within the context of challenges of Globalization 4.0, digitalization by giving primacy to India's echo for 'human centric' concerns at the heart of global system.
