Abstract: Abstract The rapid expansion of urbanization and technology uptake in India has significantly altered the traditional social landscape, reshaping social structures, institutions, and interpersonal relationships. This transformation has particularly affected the family system, which historically functioned as the primary social unit within Indian society. The gradual shift from extended and joint family structures toward nuclear and single-parent families reflects a profound restructuring of the primary social group and its traditional functions. Such structural transitions challenge classical sociological frameworks, particularly Structural Functionalism, which assumes stability and interdependence between social structures and their functions. In contemporary Indian society, the weakening or transformation of traditional structures raises questions about the continued relevance of functionalist explanations. This paper argues that the changing dynamics of social organization require a restructured sociological perspective that moves beyond rigid structural explanations toward a more flexible, transdisciplinary framework. The study proposes the integration of Collaborative Functionalism and Social Interactionism as alternative analytical approaches capable of addressing emerging social realities. Collaborative Functionalism emphasizes collective adaptation, cooperation, and evolving group dynamics in maintaining social order, while Social Interactionism focuses on micro-level interactions and meaning-making processes within rapidly changing urban contexts. Through a qualitative methodological approach, the research explores social perspectives emerging from urbanization, family restructuring, and shifting social roles in India. The study relies on logical interpretation of sociological theories, contemporary social patterns, and conceptual analysis to understand how evolving social agendas influence institutional functioning and social cohesion. By adopting a transdisciplinary platform that bridges sociology with urban studies, cultural studies, and social psychology, this paper attempts to “unfreeze” traditional sociological frameworks and propose a dynamic analytical model suited to modern Indian society. The findings suggest that contemporary social transformations require sociological approaches that acknowledge fluidity, collaboration, and interaction within evolving social systems. The proposed restructuring of sociological perspectives aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of social change, institutional adaptation, and collective identity formation in a rapidly urbanizing India.
