assimilation

acculturation

integration

diffusion

- When moplans perform kalyanam (a Hindu-style marriage ceremony) after nikah (Islamic marriage), it shows a blending of cultural practices.

- Option 1: Assimilation – This is when a group completely adopts the patterns and practices of another, often losing its original identity.

- Option 2: Acculturation – This is when groups exchange cultural features but each group retains its original identity.

- Option 3: Integration – Involves combining elements from different cultures, while each maintains its core identity.

- Option 4: Diffusion – Spread of cultural traits from one group to another without full adoption.

- In this context, the practice is best described as acculturation (Option 2) because moplans retain Islamic identity but adopt a Hindu ceremony.

Correct Answer: Option 2 – acculturation
