Proud traditions & patriotism commingle with tensions & prejudices rooted in age-old rivalries. Ancient temples may be plastered with signs advertising the latest technologies. The rapid urbanization of the last century has given rise to burgeoning slums & an affluent middle class that was nonexistent a few decades ago. Steeped in tradition, exceptionally fatalistic, & intensely passionate about their culture, the Indians are an ingenious, adventurous, & creative people. Show interest in their country & most will respond with genuine warmth & friendship. But they also have indelible ties to family & community that form boundaries & determine decisions that may not always seem reasonable, or sometimes even ethical, to outsiders. ” Culture Smart!
