सारांश	Participatory Netnography is a qualitative research approach in which the researcher becomes an active, contributing member of an online community in order to study it from within. Building on Kozinets' netnography framework, it extends the purely observational stance to active participation — the researcher posts, replies, and engages authentically — generating richer, context-embedded data about online social life, consumer culture, or community practices than passive observation alone can provide.	Ethnography is a qualitative research tradition in which a researcher immerses themselves in a social group or community over an extended period — typically three to six months or longer — to study its culture, values, and behaviours in their natural setting. Originating in social and cultural anthropology, and consolidated as a rigorous method by Bronisław Malinowski in the early twentieth century, ethnography produces rich, contextualised accounts of how people live, work, and make meaning together.
