What types of gestures and greetings does India have that is different from America.?

Answer 1

greeting in India is a very complex process.. here, I'll explain, just follow this:
1. when you first see the person you want to greet, take off your shoes immediately.. it is a sign of respect to remove your shoes, even if you are outside.
2. then greet them, saying: BEEFF KA-HAAN HAIN
3. extend your left hand and place it on their right cheek
4. kiss the nose, on their left, next to the eye
5. run like hell cause you just made them think you were gonna eat a cow and then wiped gross stuff on their face.

Happy traveling!
