What are the customs and cultures in India?

About 83% of India's residents believe in Hinduism, and some people believe in Islam, Christianity and Buddhism.

Indians shake hands when they meet, but men should bow slightly when they meet women. Men should try to avoid contact with women, and should not talk to women alone in public.

When inviting Indians to participate in social activities, they should also invite their wives. Indians attach importance to the concept of time, and should try to be punctual when dating. When entertaining guests, Indians believe that the expenses should be paid by the rich.

Indians like to talk about cultural achievements, Indian traditions, foreign affairs and foreigners' lives, and are afraid to talk about religious contradictions, relations with Pakistan, wages and gender relations.

Hindus regard cows as "sacred beasts" and respect them as gods. They are only allowed to drink milk and are not allowed to slaughter and eat beef. So cows can roam freely everywhere, sacred and inviolable. In some cities and villages in India, old cows and sick cows abound.
