Culture

My parents are both from India but i was born in America. Every few years my family and I would go to India to visit. There lifestyles over there and over here are much different. One of the things that I noticed that was abnormal to me was seeing a bunch of men holding eachothers hands walking down the street. When I first saw that, I thought "Wow, something here is not right..". lol But when i talked to my parents about it, they just said that its a way to show that you are friends. Over here in America, if we saw guys walking down the street holding hands, we would probably think they are "gay" or whatever, but i guess in India people are more comfortable with there sexuality and its just they way over there.

  1. I still find this interesting because it is funny. But i wonder if homosexuality is extremely tolerated in India. If it isn't, that is probably why Indian society are less on edge about holding the hand of the same sex
