  4. Do’s • If you are male introduced to a lady or a grown-up girl, don't take the initiative of offering a handshake. If she extends her hand, you must reciprocate, but don't be the first to extend your hand. If you are female and are being introduced to a male: it is up to you – the female – to take the initiative for a handshake. The rule of thumb is: the female extends her hand first, and the male reciprocates.

  5. Don't point your feet at people. Feet are considered to be unclean and therefore it's important to avoid pointing your feet at people, or touching people or objects (particularly books) with your feet or shoes. If you accidentally do so, you should apologize straight away. Also, note that Indians will often touch their head or eyes as a show of apology. On the other hand, it's a sign of respect to bend down and touch an elder person's feet in India.

  6. If you need a spoon, you will need to ask for it or bring one along. Typically, people eat with their (right) hand.

  9. The left hand is only used for one’s “morning business.” Therefore, one does not touch anyone or receive/give anything with one’s left hand. • It’s customary to bring some small gifts as hostess gifts and. It can be as small as a postcard from your home region

  10. Be careful of excessively friendly strangers, especially in cities and tourist areas. • People are very resentful of Western (ignorant) judgments, and you will only do harm to the Gospel witness. If anyone asks you your beliefs, you certainly can and should share them in a positive manner.

  11. Feel free to ask a lot of questions. People are happy to tell you about the society and their religion.

  12. Don’ts • People usually don’t converse while eating. • If you come unannounced to someone’s home, people don’t like to be disturbed while they are eating.

  16. Do not hang your underwear in the open to dry • Do not give out your address, e-mail address, or phone number, unless you are prepared to be besieged with contacts once you’re returned home.
