Abstract	Abstract: First published in December 1922, The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot. It employs many allusions to the Western canon: Ovid’s Metamorphoses, the Legend of the Fisher King, Dante’s Divine Comedy, Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, and even a contemporary popular song, “That Shakespearian Rag”. The main purpose being the thrust of unification of the two binaries in the world, east and west in all aspects like, thoughts, culture, pursuits and history, even if the brutal pasts. In culture, Indian scriptures, life and knowledge India has been the centre of attraction and now time has come to quench our thirst of knowledge by acquaintance with the scriptures that originated in India. According to him peace prevails widespread rendering the inner peace. He places himself as the devotee of god for spreading the unity in diversity in the whole cosmos, actually he is enthralled by the gifts rendered by god to the humankind. He addresses the whole era to be unified which is very important today also, but our misfortune we are reluctant. Not only in religion, he says in our way of life there is much futility in every aspect of modernisation.
