Wherever there is a settlement (society), it is bound to be affected by change on the micro or macro level sooner or later. This is caused by a number of factors and has some impact on that society. Through this project, I have tried to analyse the effect of social change on the East Indian community, keeping one aspect as my main issue of study, i.e., ‘wedding ceremonies’ The research method I have used for this study is the ethnographic methodology, wherein I went around talking to people and used an open-ended questionnaire. Only after fully understanding the practices and observing them have I drawn my inferences about identifying the cause of change. The East Indian community offers itself as an ideal subject matter for this kind of study, as the changes are recent and ongoing at different levels.
