Raymond Williams' cultural materialism emerged as a lens through which we understand the intricate relationship between culture and society. It is a response to traditional cultural theories that often view culture as separate from the material world. According to Williams, culture is rooted in material conditions, including the economy, technology, and social structures. He argued that to comprehend culture fully, one must consider how it is produced, distributed, and consumed within a particular societal context. Cultural materialism seeks to uncover the intricate connections between culture and its material foundations. India is a tapestry of diversity and a vast and culturally diverse nation, characterized by its multitude of languages, religions, traditions, and histories. It is a country where ancient customs coexist with modern technologies, where rural villages neighbour bustling metropolises, and where traditional art forms thrive alongside contemporary expressions. The complexity of the Indian context provides a fertile ground for the application of cultural materialism and critic on high culture and low culture. This article is going to talk about the valuable insights of cultural materialism in terms of power dynamics, ideology and historical context applying it to the Indian Web Series as a cultural landscape. It will delve into theory of materialism and its application in the Indian context. The article will explore how this theory can help us comprehend the complex and multifaceted nature of culture in India, a country marked by its rich diversity, history, and socio-economic disparities.
