Purview of Indian Culture in 1980’s: Review of papers published during the decade

Culture is beyond observable behaviour of cohort of people interacting within the group and outside. As explained vide hundreds of different definitions, it loosely can be defined as bundle of verbal, nonverbal behaviour interacting within each other and across the external variables inclusive off inherent semiotics and sublime processes. The way people behave and react to the situations in reality, the expressions, motifs and symbols along the common dimensions and characteristics those all cultures do share differ, and this distinguishes one culture from another. How people from different gender celebrate, ensure discipline and system in the society, the way economic transactions occur, the way individuals behave with same and opposite gender, meet, mate and rear their children etc. together pose a picture of the culture, which undergoes dynamic and continuous change. Culture reflected by the society during a certain period is distinguishable from the culture of same society in different period. The articles, papers published during that period, media and other communication medium together give a reflection of the thought process and its manifestation in reality. This paper reviews the articles and papers published during 1980-90 to understand the existing culture of Indian society during the decade.
