India’s huge population of 1.2 billion is as varied and colorful as the spice markets of Old Delhi. Each region, caste, and community has its own culture, reflecting unique histories shaped by conquest, creativity, and religion. Steeped in ancient traditions, exceptionally fatalistic, and intensely passionate about their culture, the Indians are also ingenious, creative, and world leaders in cutting-edge science and technology. Show interest in their country and it will be reciprocated with genuine warmth and friendship.
Culture Smart! India will make you aware of the essential values and behavioral norms, show you how to navigate often profound cultural differences and build relationships, and offer invaluable insights into this great, endlessly fascinating land.
Don't Rush
Try not to be in too much of a hurry. Change your expectations when it comes to timing; whether for social meetings or business appointments, don't get upset when things start later or take longer than planned. Indian Stretchable Time is a fact of life and one that is wise to accept rather than attempt to challenge.
