Chinese eat with chopsticks, but why do Indians always eat with their hands

The fact that Indians eat with their hands is related to religious beliefs. In order to honor food, they believe that food is a gift from God, so they can only receive it with the purest of hands.

Indians believe that the hand can directly feel the temperature and texture of the food consumed, which is a comfortable and close to natural behavior.

This is a kind of difference in habits caused by cultural differences, which has been formed in a very early society, and is a natural development of history and culture.

"The reasons why Indians eat with their hands instead of chopsticks are: 1. It is related to the beliefs of Indians. 2. Because of India's own caste system. 3. Climatic reasons in India. Indians still eat with utensils, forks and spoons on more formal occasions."

1. It is related to the beliefs of Indians. India is a big religious country, especially Buddhism, in their belief that all food is given by God, and Indians have a very strange perception, they think that the left hand is dirty, but the right hand is pure and sacred, so using the pure and holy right hand to touch the food given by God to mankind is a kind of respect for God's practice. As a result, Indians generally use their hands to grasp food, and even in the current era of globalization, even if they know that chopsticks and knives and forks exist, they still will not change their long-standing habits.

2. Because of India's own caste system. India is a country with a caste system and very strict hierarchies, which is a historical legacy. In India, the upper castes generally believe that things touched by the lower castes are dirty, so they would rather use their hands to eat than share plates and knives and forks with the lower castes.

So there is a very strange phenomenon in India where they would rather use plantain leaves to cook and eat with their hands than in other containers for rice and meals.

3. Climatic reasons in India. The average temperature throughout the year is 22 degrees Celsius or more, and even the lowest temperature in winter is only 16 degrees. Chopsticks and knives and forks are used in China and Europe and the United States because the winter weather in these countries can be very cold.

So the food eaten during these times of winter is relatively hot. Comparing the food culture of our country, it can be seen that there are fried, hot pot, etc., so if you grab the food with your hands, it will directly burn your hands, so the wise ancestors invented chopsticks to facilitate our meals. For Indians, they don't need chopsticks and knives and forks because their food is basically room temperature.

Why do Indians eat with their hands instead of utensils? Locals: Hands are the most sacred and pure!

This is the food culture of India, they have never touched chopsticks or forks, so they don't use them, they can only use the original way.

Because they don't have this tradition in their country, they don't use chopsticks, and they are more casual, so they eat with their hands.

This is a habit that has been passed down from ancient times in India to the present day, just as we are used to using chopsticks, they are not used to using them.

Because chopsticks were the patent of ancient aristocrats, they are also a symbol of the identity and status of Indian residents, so they are also the result of being passed down from generation to generation.

No, this eating habit of theirs is formed over a long period of time. It's a habit they've formed.

Because their customs are very traditional, and they feel that eating with their hands is very respectful. No, just for their personal reasons.

Yes. Because they have been taught to eat with their hands since childhood, and they find it very convenient, which is their custom.

Of course not, it's just because India is an ancient country with a lot of customs, and this way is also very free.

Personally, I think the reason why Indians like to eat with their hands is because of their habits, because they don't know how to use chopsticks at all.

There are no chopsticks in India, so Indians will only eat pilaf with their hands, and chopsticks have not yet been lost to India, so they will not be used.

Not. It's because of the local customs in India, so it leads them to grab something to eat. They also use knives and forks sometimes.

The reasons why India eats with their hands instead of chopsticks are: 1) it is related to the beliefs of the Indians, 2) it is because of the caste system of India itself, and 3) it is related to the climate of India. Indians still eat with utensils, forks and spoons on more formal occasions."

Most people in India believe in Hinduism, and believe that the bridge is given by God, and it is rude and too cold to touch the sacred relics with utensils, which is offensive to the gods.

India is a country with a caste system, due to historical reasons. High-caste people would rather use their hands to eat rice than share plates, knives and forks with lower-caste people.

The temperature in India can reach up to fifty degrees in summer, which makes Indians prefer to eat cold food. Eating cold food eliminates the need to use utensils and saves time on cleaning utensils.
