Why does India eat with its hands instead of chopsticks?

The reason why India eats with its hands instead of chopsticks is related to Indian beliefs, India's own caste system and India's climate.

1. Indians still use knives, forks and spoons on more formal occasions. Most people in India believe in Hinduism and believe that food is given by heaven. It is impolite and cold to touch sacred objects with tableware, which means offending the gods.

2. Due to historical reasons, India is a country with caste system. People of high caste would rather grab food with their hands than use plates, knives and forks with people of low caste.

The temperature in summer in India can reach 50 degrees, which makes Indians like to eat cold food. You don't need to use tableware when eating cold food, and you can also save time in cleaning tableware.
