Indian customs and taboos

India is a multi-ethnic country with many religions, many denominations and different customs.

As a result, tourists must respect local customs, and when visiting mosques and temples, entering mosques (especially mosques) must take off their shoes, and it is not appropriate to shout, for example, to see Muslims walking softly when they pray, and not to be alarmed so as not to affect their worship.

In India, cattle are sacred, and every year the monks hold a festival called “Bogo” to imply the worship of cattle, a ritual that does not allow women to participate.

In some parts of India, cattle roam the streets freely and share roads with pedestrians, vehicles, etc.

The Hindu religion is forbidden to eat beef and use cattle.

Hindu temples, on the other hand, are not allowed to enter with anything made of cow skin, but with bare feet.

In addition, there are many Indians who worship snakes, those who live in the Assen area and see them as their own ancestors.

There are also many who consider the killing of a snake to be an offence against God.

It would be bad luck to use the tub to bathe the children, considering the water in the tub not to flow.

India is an ancient Asian civilization, with great respect for protocol.

When Indians meet with friends, they usually hand in hand or raise their hands and say, “Namaskara” in the words “hello to you”.

However, the position of a high hand or a high hand is well-articulated, high-rised and respected; it is fair for the peers to be equal; and it is low for the younger children to be considerate.

There are also occasions when they embrace each other and place their hands on each other ' s shoulders to show affection.

When guests are received, flowers are often given and hung around their necks, implying a genuine welcome.

If you're wearing a wreath around your neck, it's the respect of the Indians.

You should take it down immediately as a sign of your humility.

In contrast to Chinese custom, Indian actions in favour of or in agreement with each other are neither noding nor shaking, but rather shaking.

Those who deal with Indians for the first time are often in a state of confusion as to whether the other side is implying consent or opposition.

Indian women, especially Muslim women, rarely show their faces because of the influence of the royal system, and they do not go out with strangers or shake hands with the opposite sex.

Indians also have a culture of respect for the elders and generally do not drink and smoke in front of them.

When the Lord commands, the young shall say, “Yes” and raise their heads in order to obey.

For old people or fathers, add a word “gish” after the name (means “Older”, “Job” or “Bab” (means “Big Uncle”, “Father”).

The great men, the elderly and the masters are all the more admired, such as Golu to the master and the mentor, Gandhi to be the “Master” (meaning Father of the Nation) and the learned and the Sanskrit to be the “Pandit” (a reputation that Ja Nehru had before).

The term “Sly” (means Mr.) is used to refer to general scholars.

For Muslim scholars who are fluent in Islamism and Arabic, they refer to “mullahs” or “mullahs”.

In their dealings with Indians, they do not usually ask questions about the other ' s family, work, income, etc.

in order to avoid displeasure.

Don't start talking about politics.

Especially on sensitive issues.

Indians like to talk about cultural achievementsIndian legends, religions, social customs, history, talk about such topics are more speculative and may help you build good partnerships with each other.

Rice and wheat are the staples of Indians.

Cooking methods such as stew, roast, boil, roast, etc.

are used more often; curry, pepper and butter are preferred rather than greasy.

They include tomatoes, onions, potatoes, cabbage, spinach, eggplant, vegetable, etc.

They love potatoes, which are considered to be a good food.

I don't eat mushrooms, stings, and mussels.

There is a general lack of drinking, which is considered to be against religious custom, and a very limited amount of drinking.

In light of the widespread practice of tea, coffee, milk, cold water, etc., and so on, when inviting guests from India, the other party is not willing to drink and is not reluctant to persuade.

Sikhs are absolutely forbidden to drink.

Indians have the habit of eating food.

Right hand grabs food and picks up food.

When friends meet or attend receptions and dinners, the owner usually treats the guests in the form of a buffet.

On such occasions, food is usually fed on standing and at the table to get the food they like.

The left hand grabs a plate, the right hand grabs food, uses a three-finger (mph, index finger and middle finger) and mixs the food, then grabs it and eats it (generally without chopsticks, fork and key).

Indian hands are clearly divided, with the exception of the WC, usually with the right hand.

Therefore, in the encounter of friends, there is no desire to reach out to the left hand.

The majority of Indians are Hindus, and the number of vegetarians in the upper middle and upper middle levels is high, and the smaller the number of those in status and in social status eat lamb (the less socialised eat lamb), but they also eat eggs, butter, milk, and meat-eaters in Hindus fast beef, allowing chickens, ducks and fish.

But Hindus are afraid to eat in the same diet.

Muslims eat cattle and lamb, and are forbidden to eat pork.

Therefore, when entering a restaurant, you should order food in accordance with the menu and not order pork or beef easily.

There are many vegetarian restaurants and hotels in India that do not provide meat.

The Indians love red (symbolism, booming up), blue (symbolism of sincerity), purple (symbol of peace), yellow (symmetric of light), green (symmetric of peace) and black, gray and white.

The favorite pattern is "To the cattle." The Netherlands is highly rated in India.

Elephants are seen in India as blessed animals and as symbols of wisdom, strength and loyalty.

India is a region with a high risk of infection and should be provided with a prevention shot and a vaccination certificate.

In addition, material preparation is required.

In the event of a required shipment, exchange of foreign currency, airfare or ticket.

Relevant reference books, academic exchange of information, samples of commodities, small gifts to friends, and regular medicines.

As in Western countries, Indians generally drink raw water, and restaurants and hotels generally do not provide hot water.

The poor quality of water in some cities and the drinking of raw water can cause land and water problems and make them vulnerable to disease.

Therefore, as little as possible or no.

If you need water and tea, the hotel attendant is advised to prepare and collect it, but a small tip is required.
