Avoiding Offense -- Indians love to discuss all manner of subjects, and more educated individuals will readily get into wonderfully heated debates - which may be among our most memorable moments in India. We do exercise discretion, however, when trying to understand the enigma of India's overwhelming poverty and the caste system. We don't need to harshly judge or criticize things we don't understand fully; Indians can be quite passionate about their nation and will defend it unequivocally. Words are seldom enough to offend an Indian, but we need to avoid strong swear words in the context of an argument or insult.
Always we need to be considerate and humble when entering a place of worship. From : Frommer's India
