      Actually our culture was 400 years ahead of us thousands of years before ..... It was the foreign exploitation and the historical events that lead to today's status ...we actually never try to learn our culture thinking it's religious as it is Hinduism ....but it's a culture developed on the Indus valley ... We need to teach the gud part of our culture rather than just following the made up traditions of India which was made by the nobles for their benefits ☮️

And even when she wanted to leave Islam, she couldn't leave istinja. People's floors get better treatment than their own bodies. If a baby crapped on the floor it'd get washed.

    In India, people will start cooking after taking bath, (Not many in cities due to work pressure and blindly following western, but it is still followed in villages). Traditionally Indians don't store the cooked food and carry it over next day, end of the day the remaining food will be given to homeless people or feed to street dogs or cow. In my village the whole bunch of (Around 10) dogs are our pets, we are not growing in our home, but they love us and safeguard us because we used to given them food once in a while 😜. Go and ask villagers, they will tell many stories like Hachiko's Dog story. Drinking boiled fresh milk also unique in India, every morning milkman will come with fresh milk (taken just an hour before from the cow) and we will boil it first then drink it. Now cities got pocket milks which I hate. I feel the taste of water only in India, most of the countries and big cities in India drink RO water, but many places in India, people drink river water directly without processing. I grew up drinking Thamirabarani river water (Thamiram means copper in Tamil), Thamirabarani water tastes little sour due to copper. Siruvani in coimbatore area tastes sweet. Kaveri and Ganga water taste both sweet n sour. In cities water tastes blunt 🤦‍♀️. Indian food designed to have six tastes (Arusuvai unavu), Sweet, Sour, Salty, Pungent (spicy), Bitter, Astringent, one should get all tastes everyday in order to avoid diseases. Like this there are many habits which are not followed in India itself nowadays due to so called westernization. There is a saying in TN Unave marunthu, (Food is the medicine), now medicines became food 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

    In my family in India, we traditionally use separate sets of utensils for cooking rice or any starches, and another separate set for anything that’s non-starch. Great care is taken to avoid contamination between the two sets. In fact upon touching a vessel that contained cooked rice, we must wash our hands before touching a vessel containing some non-starch like a vegetable fry or yoghurt. I used to think it was silly tradition until I discovered that foods containing starches have 10-100x more bacterial growth after the same time duration, when compared to non-starch foods.

    When you're talking about hygiene in India, 70 to 80% Indians who have pets(cats/dogs) do not allow them to sit on the sofa or bed. We don't allow them to enter the kitchen. It's not like we don't love them, but we don't want their hair all over our sofa and bed and food.

All of them used to be big dairy product consumers when they were in India. One of them pointed out its because of a certain type of milk protein. Also, would like to if Michelle is vegan by choice or cause she’s lactose intolerant?
    And if she’s lactose intolerant then making her try local cow/buffalo milk and dairy products (not packaged but fresh) to check if she has the same reaction.

After taking off our footwear before entering our home, we in most cases go directly to the bathroom to wash our hands and feet and when we come out of it we are supposed to wear the sandles for home. The sandals for outdoor and indoor are different.
      And by God, if by the wish of God, you wear the indoor one outdoor, our moms show us exactly why Lord Shiva let Mother Kali dance on her chest. Many of you can attest to this नालायक, गधे, आंखे दान कर दीं क्या? दिखाई नहीं दिया कौन सी चप्पल पहन कर जा रहे हो।

    First of all I would like to say your videos are really interesting. And helpful for Indian immigrants to make their Americanized kids why some of the annoying Indian ways are useful.
    Since you mentioned allergies for drying clothes outside I would like to share my experience.
    In general Indian houses and most buildings (not the new corporate world offices) keeps their doors and windows open even after it's dark outside. We close them when it's time for bed. Then we open the bedroom windows weather permitting. Which is 80% of the year on most regions. So Indians are very used to breathing the outside air. And there is so nice air circulation in the house compared to US that you are more fresh air than US . and most people are very accustomed to different weather.
    Here in US during fall and spring I take 2 medicine and a nasal spray every single day. Then also my sinuses are out of control on some days. I carry all my medicine when I visit India. I don't need to take a single one.
    These are just my thoughts and in no way I am saying negative things about US but just telling my own experience.

      Just before you switch like unfortunately how people in India copy everything Western only to know later of its problems - leather industries, plastics, pesticides, insecticides, glass, please check out the things it cannot do what the sun can - the sun charges your clothes with positive energy which is more than just heat of a dryer, dryers mean more electronic waste (keep in mind it costs more to recycle electronics in the West than they actually are worth and most often they dump them in poor countries which India does not have as an option), more electricity usage vs using direct sun, and kills bacteria which again heat cannot.
