They laughed when we bent our bodies while doing Yoga. A lot of westerners find it strange to see Indians doing Yoga in parks and other public places. But the same western people are practising Yoga on their own in a different way.
Some may say that they are judgemental and have been influenced by western movies that portray Yoga as a spiritual practice.
In India, Yoga is a way of life and spirituality is always intertwined with it. So a large number of people do their Yoga in the morning before starting their day. So now they are practising on the road.

They criticized us when we had food with our bare hands, but now they are recommending it.
Eating food with bare hands has a positive effect on the health and wellbeing of the mind and brain. Using hands to eat food makes it more enjoyable and gives the body a better sense of taste.
Maika Pollock (2018), in her research paper “The benefits of eating with our hands”, mentions that eating with bare hands is good for the stomach and helps improve the wellbeing of the mind and brain.
In India, it is common to eat food with bare hands, particularly when eating at home or in the company, to enjoy all its tastes. Pollock says that food can be sensed better this way, which is impossible if eaten with cutlery or fingers covered by gloves.

Here, Organic farming is no different. During British rule, people laughed when Indian farmers used cow dung in the farms.
India has followed organic farming ever since the beginning. However, the west ruined it by introducing synthetic pesticides, genetically modified organisms, synthetic fertilizers, etc.
The rise of Indian culture is unstoppable as people worldwide now want to follow everything in India.
Now they are asking us to do organic farming. Hmmm.
Do you know that the British could not break India’s food production because they never understood what Indian farmers did? They thought that Indian farmers would use chemical fertilizers and pesticides, but they used cow dung in reality. The British were baffled that the Indians could produce more food than them with fewer resources.
In short, everything from “how to eat” to “how to shit,” India was right in almost all cases.
