What are the customs of India

India is an ancient civilization with a long history. More than 2,000 years ago, China and India had economic and cultural exchanges. 84% of India's population is Hindu and 11% is Islamic. Hinduism is also called new Brahmanism, its doctrine is to advocate good and evil have cause and effect, life has reincarnation, that people and all living things have a soul, the soul can be revived in another body after the death of the body. The shape of a person's reincarnation depends on his own behavior in this world and on the degree of devotion to the religion. Hindus regard the cow as a god, according to its Canon, the cow is a god, called the sacred cow, and holds a cow worship festival every year. Therefore, although the total number of cattle in India accounts for about a quarter of the world, they do not farm, but live freely in the fields and cities. Milk is sacred, milked only by Hindus, and it is considered immoral for a woman to even look at it. There are many festivals in India, up to 60 days a year, national festivals have Republican Day (National Day, January 26), Independence Day (August 15), Gandhi's birthday (October 2), Hinduism has more than 20 festivals. Indians pay attention to hygiene, daily bath has become a habit, they think that bathing in the bathtub is not clean, like the shower. An educated housewife must take a foam bath and change into clean clothes after cooking. Malays, most of whom believe in Islam, attach great importance to etiquette, the family should respect and obey their parents, sons should wear hats when they see their parents, do not smoke, do not sit in front of their parents with their feet apart or crossed, and men should behave properly when sitting beside women. The daughter sat on the ground can not cross her knees, to bend her knees and stretch her legs to one side. Malay tradition dictates that neighbours must live in harmony and not have any quarrels. When visiting other people's homes, their clothes must be clean, and their shoes must be taken off at the door or on the stairs, because the hall is a place of prayer, sacred and inviolable, and wearing shoes to enter the house is considered blasphemous and cannot be tolerated. If a guest does not eat or drink in the host's home, it will be considered to be extremely disrespectful to the host, causing a strong aversion to the host, and the guest is regarded as an unwelcome person. The Malays should not be touched on the head with their hands, as this is an offence and insult to them, nor should anyone touch their back, which is considered to bring bad luck, except religious teachers. The Malays believe that the left hand is unclean and must eat with the right hand. Gifts are given with the right hand, otherwise it is considered impolite. If you have to use your left hand in case you can't get your right hand off, you must say "sorry" in advance.
