Why indians are rude

And it wasn't just once or twice. That was the general impression that she got from Indians. The last few weeks we had an Indian family here in front of our house in the park. They just spent their time there and I have no problem with that. But what amazed me was the music they kept playing.

Until late at night. Till midnight or one o'clock without caring at all if people want to sleep or not. Generally the vibe I get from most Indian people is that they don't care about what's happening around them and are quite egoistical.

And thus also very rude cause they don't pay attention to what other people might find offensive. We have a lot of Indian people here on the forum and that's the reason I am writing this. Is this just me and did I just have a few bad experiences?

Or is it true and are Indians generally really a bit ruder than other nationalities? And if yes, why? Honeycomb Aug 28, Lollipop Aug 28, Ice Cream Sandwich Aug 28, Marijuanainc , Aug 28, : I'm of Indian origin and was born and raised in America. Our lifestyles are different. Here burping and farting is seen has bad or disrespectful. In India it is seen as a normal bodily function so you don't have to say excuse me.

I used to get embarrassed when my family came to visit us and we would go out to restaurants. There is also a lot of debate about specific differences across the country, along with general views on the workplace.

Many people feel very strongly about this subject and a number of the comments posted are a lot longer than this article. In response to some shouting by the commenter above. This is the work place culture of IT companies today. It is suffocating to be an Indian.

Some people agreed with this. Many did not. In a lot of ways this contradicts itself… and this is the case with much of the debate. India is an extremely social country which usually means more verbiage. This point was often raised. Many others, however, were vehement that a quiet voice is culturally a good thing. India is very hierarchical. To show the utmost respect towards a religious leader, statue of a deity or an elder, one will touch the feet of the person or the statue.

Never sit higher than an elder. If they are seated on the floor, you should also sit on the floor to avoid being higher than them. The left hand is thought to be reserved for cleaning, and the left hand alone should never be used to pass an object. Indians typically have a relaxed approach towards timekeeping and punctuality. It is common for people to arrive at events 30 minutes to an hour after the designated time. However, Indians will usually observe punctuality in a formal context such as important business meetings, appointments or when visiting a doctor.

Visiting Indians are generally exceptionally hospitable and take great pride in this characteristic. Complements on the hospitality of your Indian counterpart are generally very appreciated. Arriving 15 to 30 minutes after the designated time is appropriate. There is often an expectation that the guest will accept what is offered especially chai. If you refuse something, it may be seen as a token protest made out of politeness.

Thus, instead of accepting your refusal, an Indian may insist that you receive what has been offered. This can lead to awkward situations in which a guest can feel that the offer is being forced upon them.

While a gift for the host is not expected, it is generally appreciated. A small token gift, such as chocolates or a gift for the host's children, is usually adequate. There are various norms practised when visiting a place of worship. Specific practices vary among religions. Generally, one is required to remove their shoes.

Eating Indian food often does not require utensils to eat.
