Preface
When it comes to India, some people will think of "clean and hygienic", this country of divine feeling, which makes people curious.
Some people are curious about those unique cuisines, but what is Indian cuisine like? What about the taste?
There are also people who are curious about how Indians live and what are the interesting things in India, and this article will introduce them to you all.
Food and transport in India
Many people are curious about Indian food, which is vegetarian but also rich in meat and seafood, and their unique recipe is a variety of spices, sauces and seasonings.
Indians like to use sour and spicy curries to eat fragrant and creamy dishes, and they also like to add various spices and herbs such as curry leaves, turmeric, chili powder, etc., as well as yogurt, coconut milk and other ingredients to make the dish more delicious and delicious.
Most Indians believe in Hinduism, so they have strict taboos and regulations regarding food and drink.
The most common of these is the prohibition on the consumption of beef, which is due to the fact that Hinduism worships and respects cows as sacred creatures.
So in India, beef is not a common ingredient, which also makes vegetarianism appear more in the lives of Indians.
However, because of this, Indians love to study vegetarian cuisine, so there are many different kinds of vegetarian snacks and dishes in India.
In addition to vegetarian food, Indians also eat very differently from Chinese in that they share food with each other without disliking each other.
It also allows friends and family to deepen friendships and bonds, and Indians prefer to eat pilaf with their hands because they feel that their hands are more sensitive to the texture, temperature and texture of food.
Indians also have rules for eating, that is, the left and right hands have a division of labor, in their eyes, the left hand is unclean, and the right hand is the representative of purity.
Therefore, when eating, they only use their right hand to grab rice to show respect for food, and Indians seem to be less particular about eating rice with their hands, but in fact they pay more attention to these table manners.
In addition to food, Indians have very different transportation and living habits than we do.
In this exploding and vast country, there are many ways to get around, with motorcycles, tricycles and trains being common on the streets.
Motorbikes and tricycles can often be seen shuttling back and forth on the streets, and trains are a favourite for Indians for long-distance travel, but the traffic in India is a bit chaotic and you have to be refreshed when you go out.
India is also home to various religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, and Jainism, among others, each with unique beliefs and customs.
In public, do not offend or belittle any religion, and secondly, Indians pay attention to etiquette and customs.
For example, when going to temples or places of worship, remember to take off your shoes, dress appropriately, and be polite and humble when interacting with people, and don't speak too directly or offend others.
There are also cultural taboos to keep in mind, such as not touching the heads of the locals, which are sacred in Indian culture.
Therefore, if you want to live or travel to India, you need to understand and follow these traffic and cultural rules. In this way, you will be able to better integrate into the local society and enjoy the customs of India to the fullest.
India is not the same as it used to be
Regarding India's development, many people still think that it is still stuck in that backward era, but in fact, India has long since changed, and high-rise buildings have sprung up.
In recent years, India's economy has also rocketed, especially in the service sector and high-tech sectors.
The boom in these industries has not only brought a lot of money to India, but also allowed the Indian people to live a more nourishing life.
Nowadays, more and more Indians are able to enjoy all kinds of modern life, buy, buy, play, and life is simply not too good!
However, despite the good economic development, the problem of the gap between the rich and the poor cannot be ignored.
India's rich live in luxury, with mansions, yachts, and private jets, while many of India's poor live in slums, which is distressing.
The root causes of this gap between the rich and the poor are quite complex, including the uneven distribution of educational resources, limited employment opportunities, and imperfect social systems.
Moreover, India's infrastructure construction is also relatively lagging behind, which also limits the improvement of the economy and people's living standards.
In contrast, China's infrastructure construction is quite impressive, and people's living standards have generally improved.
Even now in China, efforts are being made to close the gap between rich and poor, to increase equity in education, to improve rural development, and in general, India has developed economically, but the gap between rich and poor remains a big problem.
In contrast, China has done well in terms of social and economic development, but it also needs to continue to work to make its society more fair and harmonious.
And in fact, from the details, we can also perceive the economic situation in India, and cigarettes are often sold in the Indian market, one by one, which is convenient for more people to buy.
And there are always voices on the streets of India, and India doesn't have the same strict noise complaint rules as other countries.
Indian women, on the other hand, are more likely to encounter danger at night, so they are more cautious when going out.
In India, people are divided into different hierarchies based on birth, ancestry, and status, which determine their social status, rights, and also affect their career choices and income levels.
For example, people with low educational qualifications may only be able to do manual work, and large companies are more likely to hire employees with higher academic qualifications, making it more difficult for people from lower castes to find jobs.
People with lower castes are subject to more discrimination and restrictions, as well as greater challenges in the workplace and in social status.
The Ganges also plays a pivotal role in India's daily life, as Indians dump household garbage and even bodies into the river in addition to their daily baths, believing that this will wash away sins and sublimate the soul.
Although this custom has affected the water quality of the Ganges to a certain extent, it is also a habit of the Indian people.
Some Indians wash their hands with Ganges water before eating, which is their traditional practice, and they also believe that touching food with their hands will increase the deliciousness.
There is also a spice called masala in India, which has different flavors, some are spicy, some are sweet and sour.
However, students who try Indian food for the first time may not be comfortable with their stomachs, so be careful not to make a fuss.
India also has a unique culture of paint, where people celebrate and pray with various colors of paints all over the body during some of India's grand festivals or celebrations.
At the end of the event, they wash themselves in the Ganges River to wash away the paint, which also means to wash away all worries and misfortunes.
It is also important to pay attention when traveling in India, because the number of public toilets is not enough, so many people may find random land to solve the problem.
For example, some Indian men will wear long skirts to solve problems on the side of the road for convenience, while women mostly choose to deal with it at home.
In India, there are no restrictions on the relationship between men, but there is a certain distance between men and women.
epilogue
India attracts tourists from all over the world to visit and here we can feel the hospitality and love of life of the Indian people.
But there are also some unique places in India, and many people may not be able to adapt to life there when they go to India, so don't put up with it at this time, just travel to another place.
