Question about India
Dear people of India. I am a student of international agriculture and i'm going to do a internship in Madhya Pradesh in the coming six months. I would like to be somewhat prepeared for your culture and i kindly allow myself to ask some questions about how life is in your land. It would mean a lot to me if you could answer some of my questions since i would like to learn as much as possible about India and Madhya Pradesh.
I am male, 34 years old and i live in Switzerlan
Common customs Where i live it is perfectly normal to greet people with handshakes, eyecontact and a smile (regardless of gender). How do you greet each other? Is there something I should avoid?
Is there something that you would consider impolite, that in other countries might be normal?(Like asking about the family)
What is something that a foreigner should avoid, that would be normal for a local?
Is it considered impolite to just talk to strangers without a reason? (Just for interest)
Are people happy when you are interested in them or would they consider it intrusive?
2. Everyday life
In Switzerland we have pretty strict days. We work at the same time every day, there are regular busines hours for stores and everything is very formal.
How is your community organised? Is it strict? Do you have much room for negotiation? (Like in stores or on markets?)
How do you get to work? With public transport? is it well organised?
What do you like about how your state is organised? What do you dislike?
What languages do you speak? How do you communicate? (Phone, messenger apps etc..)
What do you do for fun?
Are there a lot of tourists/foreigners in your area? How do you feel about them in general?
Thank you very much for sharing your thougths. I'm very excited and looking forward to visit.
