Description:
The people of Sikkim are mostly Buddhists and deeply religious. However, in Tibet, Bhutan and Sikkim, all states that have had, until recently, sheltered Buddhist communities, the effects of globalization are apparent. This can be seen in many forms. Posters of film stars are common in all these regions. Hindi films dominate in Bhutan. Hindi film songs play in most popular radio stations in Sikkim, and posters of popular Bollywood stars can be seen even in small towns in Tibet. An old man sits in front of a western pin up, in his house, in a small village, in Sikkim, India. 2000.
