Every cultural subject, in principle, is certainly controled by the physical time-space. But the physical time-space is not a time-space in which a man is confined the whole of his life. The cultural time-space has, at the same time, placeness and non-placeness, materiality and mentality, and locality and globality. The important point, in this study, is that the latter cannot be positioned in front of the former. It is the meaning of glocalization, and the principal viewpoint of this study. From the viewpoint of glocalization, the local as a category of enlarged cultural community from the individual is a horizon to form the narrative of life of each individual. Like this, the narrative of life is formed in the given cultural time-space. To every human being, the local-homeland is a pre-theoritical field, a storeroom of concrete/detailed experience as well as a source of thinking. Thus the narrative of life is shared and enjoyed by not only an individual but also the community, and is like the Meme that has been remembered and transferred over generations. The important point is that only the cultural gene transmitted like this can protect the community from the globalization of culture and the globalization of knowledge, that treat temporary and superficial technology, information and culture as the source of commercialization. In this study, the Indian bestseller Two States by Chetan Bhagat has been given a cultural analysis by this viewpoint. This novel is a work expressing a local narrative of India. But it is not a story limited to the locality of India. The conflict during the process from love to marriage is very common to every generation, every country and every individual. From this viewpoint this novel is an introductory remark representing the glocal period, and can be a fictitious challenge by the writer, Chetan Bhagat, to the planned and standardized globalization.
