people in India may say what they think you want to hear, rather than tell you the objective truth. Bear this in mind when asking questions. “Is the temple this way?” will almost invariably be answered with “yes.” Frame your questions carefully to elicit the correct response, such as “Which way is the temple?” However, “I don’t know” doesn’t enter into the Indian vocabulary very frequently. A direction will be given, with assurances, even if the person has no idea where the temple is.
The Indians value eloquence, which can lead to long speeches, spoken with passion. Likewise in conversation they will usually present reasons first and give conclusions afterward, which may leave you lost halfway through and wondering what point they’re trying to make.
Respect for education and formality means use of surnames and titles, particularly with older people so don’ t use first names unless they suggest it. With the younger generation, however, first names are more common. Indians often use Sir and Madam to attract attention.
