    Q.What does that red dot on women's forehead mean?
    Ans. Well, in ancient times, Indian men used to practice archery skills by target practicing by aiming at their wife's red dot. In fact, that is one of the reasons why they had many wives. You see, once they mastered the art of archery and hit the target....


    Q. You're from India, aren't you? I have read so much about the country. All those wonderful places, the forests, the snake charmers, the elephants! Do you still use elephants for transportation?

    Ans. Absolutely. In fact we used to have our own elephant in our house. But later, we started elephant pooling with our neighbours, to save the air. You see elephants have an "emission" problem...

    Q. Are all Indians vegetarian?
    Ans. Yes. Even tigers in India are vegetarian.

    Q. How come you speak English so well?
    A. You see when the British were ruling India, they employed Indians as servants. It took too long for the Indians to learn English. So the British isolated an "English-language" gene and infused their servants' babies with it and since then all babies born are born speaking English.

    A variation to the above is a compliment --- "You speak very good English."
    Response: Thanks. So do you.

    Q. India is very hot, isn't it?

    A. It is so hot there that all the water boils spontaneously. That is why tea is such a popular drink in India.

    Q. Indians cannot eat beef, huh?
    A. Cows provide milk, which is a very essential part of Indian diet. So eating cows is forbidden. However in order to decrease the population of the country, the government is trying to encourage everyone to eat human meat.

    Q. Why do you sometimes wear Indian clothes to work?
    A. I prefer it than to coming in naked.

    Q. Are you a Hindi?
    A. Yes. I am spoken everyday in Northern India.

    Q. Do you speak Hindu?
    A. Yes, I also speak Jewish, Islam, Buddhism and Christianity.

    Q. Is it true that everyone there is very corrupt?
    A. Yes, i in fact, I had to bribe my parents so that they would let me go to school

    Lets' come to a serious mood.

    Can anybody tell us about the serious questions that people ask about India?

    You can just post the questions only. The other members will try to answer.
    Or if you are an experts, post the questions and answers both.

    Knowing India

    The Indian culture is a unique one and there is a lot of things that one can learn from it. Some of the questions that have been posted and answered look like jokes but there are are serious misconceptions about some facts. While one of them points out that Indian parents don’t send their children to school, referring to an illiterate country it should be borne in mind that India was the first that got literate. Most of your IT geniuses are Indians.
