In India, public display of affection is frowned upon.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most people would rather give than get affection.
We don't kiss in public. It's not done.
Affection reproaches, but does not denounce.
It's not quite right to be sitting outside India and to be judging what is happening in India.
People from North India are generally known to be aggressive and emotional.
Business colleagues who have not seen each other for a long time but who have a good relationship can always shake hands warmly and grab each other's right upper arm or shoulder with their free left hand. Men and women executives should not kiss each other in public.
No one who is at all acquainted with the Indian in his home can deny that we are a polite people.
In life, there are no perfect affections.
I think that there's so many levels of what is appropriate for an Indian woman to do.
India is desperately romantic, utterly unashamed of its sentimentality, its generosity, its fierce pride and massive heart.
