Abstract	ABSTRACT Globalization, as a multidimensional socio-economic and technological phenomenon, has fundamentally restructured the conditions of human socialization across the contemporary world. This paper advances a hypothetical proposition: that globalization functions not merely as an integrative force but simultaneously as an isolating index — a structural mechanism that systematically erodes the traditional socialization processes through which individuals are embedded in family, community, and social group. Special attention is given to the Indian family system — historically the primary social unit of socialization — and its transformation from joint to nuclear to single-parent configurations under globalization's pressure. Through qualitative documentary analysis, the paper identifies five hypothetical reflections on globalization's isolating effects and proposes a transdisciplinary sociological platform adequate to understanding socialization in a globalized yet fragmenting India.
