The Indians I know at my college don't do that. I never witnessed this behavior when talking to any of them. Probably just cultural. Cultures are different.

I think it was for the benefit of the movie, because the Indian people I know do not do that- Which ones anyways? Indian or Native American Indian? Either way, I looked and didn't see anything unusual.

Each origin of a person has something attached to his mannerism. Not only your reference to moving of heads, all of 'us' Indians start with a negative whether hindi or tamil or anyother language. Others do have their mannerisms. As long as you move your head left to right and right to left a few times (and not up and down) when your dinner plate is being filled it is good for your health.

American Indians, or Indian-Americans? Native Americans, or Indians from India?

Wrong.
Indians live in Teepees and make woo woo woo noises by slapping the palm gently on there mouth while making what would otherwise be one long wooooo noise.
This would usually be done while running from cowboys.

If they are from the country of India,they are rolling the only marble they have around in their head trying to get the answer for your question.

because in their country.. their heads are attached by little swivel screws. it is a law there. sort of like the dogs in the back of car windows those bobble heads.. .. they have no control over that. it just moves all around at indiscriminate times.

My boyfriends mother is indian and so is her whole family...i have never noticed that...not once. Maybe its just the people you hang around...maybe they're doing that to keep themselves awake after talking to certain people!!!

This is part of the art of distraction. Did you notice that you can never really quite get an answer if you ask them anything. It's good avatars are not animated :)

Ok, form what I gather u r an Idaina (from INDIA) as well - and yes, in the south they do shake their head side to side to show they agree.
It's justa a cultural thing and they wonder why people nod their head to mean yes and shake their head side to side to mean no! So please answer them?
