Dress codes
“I’ve really struggled with people whom I’ve specially asked to dress modestly (we operate in a very under-visited part of India where people aren’t used to seeing white people, let alone bare white legs and arms) who’ve then emerged in shorts and a strappy top and asked the guesthouse owner if they’re ok as they are. Hotel owners are far too polite to say anything and although everyone is lovely where we work, local people are embarrassed.”
Religion & places of worship
Language in India
Hindi is the main language in India although, as there are 22 official languages in the country, English is often used as a common denominator. However, it does show a huge amount of respect to learn some Hindi. Here are some common phrases:Dhanyavad = thank you, although not used willy nilly in India, so don’t think local people rude if they don’t say it.
For a more formal, ‘thank you from the bottom of my heart’ say Shukryia, from Urdu.
Kitna hai = how much?
Aap keise hain? = How are you?
