  If you stay in an Indian home, bring something from your home country as a gift.Although it is not expected, it would be much pleasant.But find out the social position and religion of your hosts before you choose the gift.A bottle of foreign whisky would be the perfect gift for some, but not at all suitable for others.If you know the people you are going to stay with, it is a good idea to ask them what they would like.Some things are just not available in India.

  It is not necessary to bring a gift when you are invited to dinner.After all, you are the honored guest.Several years ago, it was almost unpleasant to bring sweets or a bottle of wine.But this is not true today.Nowadays it is a custom which is becoming popular with many Indians.Fruit, flowers or a box of sweets are perfect gifts, and will make no one unhappy.

  In all classes of society, both in the city and in the country, food is only taken to the mouth with the right hand.This is the most important part of the etiquette(礼节)of eating in India.When you watch Indians eat something, you will see that they keep their left hands on their legs.

  If you want to find a conversation topic in India, talk about families.Another useful subject to start with is cricket(板球).But once you get to know a person better, any topic is acceptable.Indians love to talk about politics and religion.They enjoy heated discussions.Conversation is an art form and people take the time to really talk.

       You should be careful in the giving of gifts. Never give a gift in a job
interview or go to a business meeting. Gifts are usually given during special
holidays or as "thank you" for special invitations.
       At the time of arriving, you may give your gift to the host (主人) once
the introductions are made. With gift giving a few rules are in order: Be
modest  (适度的 ) with  your  gift, do  not  buy  expensive gifts.
      Special food from your country or a bottle of wine are best if you do
not know the host very well,but be certain that your gift will not require
attention. You can usually say something like "I thought you would like
this a little later" when you offer your gift.
     Be careful of giving wine , a bottle of wine is usually all right if you
know your host drinks wine. Flowers are good but remember: roses are
for personal relationships. Do not give roses. Cut flowers are nice if they
are in a vase(花瓶) . A small cultural gift from your'country is usually
very suitable. 
     Make sure your gift is packaged nicely with a nice card.
