The phenomenon of social change is inherent in every society and culture and culture has remained a unique attribute of human reality. This particular reality not only differentiates human societies but also plays a vital role among them when talked about identity. Thus the notion “culture” subsists among all sorts of human groups as a sensitive case marker through ages. Andre Gunder Frank, an economist associated with dependency theory argued that a form of Globalisation has been in existence since the rise of trade links between Sumer and the Indus Valley Civilization in the third millennium B.C. (Frank, 1998). Even though, Globalization continues through various phases across the globe but the most dominant phase of the process can be seen during the twenty first century. Influential marketization techniques with high volume of financial investment through sophisticated technology start manipulating traditional culture. Religious conversion and modern education system are two notable added causes that exhilarate the atmosphere of uncertainty among North-Eastern tribes of India. Under the same consequences the very identity of these marginalize groups as well as their cultural values were thrown in to the verge of extinction. Traditional culture in the era of globalization is the main interest of this paper. Moreover, the present discussion will also try to observe the Impact of globalization and other cataclysmic sources that are influential on traditional institutions as well as culture of the ethnic groups residing in Assam.
