Does imperialism still exist today? why or why not

Yes, imperialism, though not in its definitive sense, still does exist.

Explanation:

“The rules of globalization were written by the West and the Empire. We have only played by it.”

Here, ‘We’ refers to the developing third world countries like India.

Thus, it is not the third world nations like India that are commanding political control over superpowers. Instead, it is the other way around.
