body language in india

India has a lot of gestures, and shaking their heads. When you ask a question, he shakes his head, whether he expresses yes or no, agrees or disagrees, it is really difficult to interpret.

foreword

When I was a sophomore and junior year, I participated in the activities organized by the church, the main content of which was a visit to the North Indian church and gospel sharing, which lasted about two weeks. At that time, I went to take advantage of the winter vacation and the Spring Festival. This is also a suitable season for people in India. I heard that in summer, India can be hot to 40 or 50 degrees. This was the first time I went abroad with my church friends. With both anticipation and fear of being hurt, I went to India, an ancient and mysterious country with a population of more than one billion.


greeting in india

Namaste (thank you) is the most common Indian word (hindi) spoken by the locals we met. Because we are outsiders, and there are also girls in our company, we all only go out during the day. It should be because of this that we often meet aunties when we visit, and when we meet, we say Namaste, Aunty-ty (hands folded).

India shakes his head

India has a lot of gestures, and shaking their heads. I actually don't understand it very well. When you ask a question, he shakes his head. In the end, he expresses yes or no, agrees or disagrees, which is really difficult to interpret.

Epilogue

I think the interpretation of the shaking head is this:

Yes, agree

Facing forward, centered on the neck, turn left and right. It will be clearer to match her/his answer.

No, disagree

Face left, right, swing back and forth. With the answers and facial expressions, you should be able to guess.

The above is just my arrangement and inference. In fact, there are hundreds of Indians. You need to observe carefully to know the answer.
