Social deviance, traditionally understood as behavior diverging from societal norms, offers a unique lens through which to examine the intricate dynamics of culture, identity, and power in India. In a rapidly changing society influenced by globalization, economic transformation, and digitalization, definitions and perceptions of deviance have shifted, challenging traditional structures and values. This study explores how these shifts affect marginalized groups, including youth, women, LGBTQ+ communities, and economically disadvantaged populations, who are often labeled as 'deviant' for defying societal expectations. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, the research analyzes media representations, legal frameworks, and societal reactions to nonconformity, thereby uncovering the underlying social tensions between progressive and conservative forces. It also examines how factors such as caste, religion, and class influence societal attitudes toward deviance. Through qualitative analysis and case studies, this study seeks to understand how acts of deviance can be both a form of resistance and a catalyst for social change, advocating for more inclusive definitions of normalcy. The findings aim to provide a deeper insight into the socio-cultural complexities of modern India and to encourage policymakers, academics, and activists to reconsider frameworks of deviance to foster a more inclusive society.
