Abstract

Culture Studies is a broad and comprehensive term which includes Literature, Economics, Politics, Sociology, numerous Ideological influences, scientific, technological advancements and new communication technology. Due to the advent of Cultural studies the gap between the Humanistic Scholars and Social Scientists has been bridged. Anthropologists and Scholars of Humanities today thrive on an intellectual give and take. This is the beginning of an interdisciplinary approach to Knowledge.
