10 facts about Indian society that might seem strange..!!

India is a large country, not only in size or population, but also in the diversity of its people. The richness of this country cannot be fully explained. But here is some strange fact of Indian society.
Tenth: The Culture of Spitting
As with all humans, Indians spit. But the government in Mumbai employs inspectors to fine individuals who spit on the street. Indians mostly spit and spit out their chewing tobacco after chewing soft tobacco, leaving red splotches on the walls. So there are a lot of posters and warning signs around against spitting in public places. The government strongly believes that the habit is also responsible for spreading contagious diseases like Tuberculosis.
Ninth: Changing Clothes on Saturday
Generally, Indians do not wear on Saturday. Indians also do not give or accept with the left hand. Indians never sweep the house at night so that they will not drive their gods away. The most common tradition is putting flowers on new cars and cars to bless them and wish them good luck before driving them for the first time.
Eighth: A Man's Hand in Another's Hand
It is a very common sight in India to find a man holding hands with another man. In certain Western cultures, this would be perceived as odd, but in India, they are just close friends, nothing more than that. The situation is usual all over India, and you will not find others noticing this or protesting against the picture.
Seventh: The Indian Street Hobby
This country loves putting things into other dimensions naturally, and streets have a special characteristic. Indians have more time outdoors than indoors; eating something or fixing something – you can be sure to spot it on the street. Fast food, shoe repair, ayurvedic medicine, hair cuts, or ear cleaning – all of this and much more might not cost much. Indian street has everything you might require.
Sixth: Throwing Infants
Infant throwing from heights is one of the most popular of all traditional Indian customs. It is even practiced by a Muslim sect along with Hindus. It is practiced in Solapur and around Hyderabad during Muharram and has been continuing for about 700 years. They think that it is good fortune and a blessing to the children. The infant is thrown from the rooftop of a 15-meter-high building to be received by the crowd on the ground.
Fifth: Deprivation of Manhood
Five to six million men gather in a festival to demonstrate a range of hairstyles, in addition to dressing up in women's clothes and adornments, in an over-the-top and feminine display, imitating the sound of women's voices. The performance is carried out in public sight before the audience. Most of these men have been forcibly castrated. Beneath the performance, they spill milk, representing their loss of manhood in the form of mounting social ostracism against them.
Fourth: India's Special Interest in Elephants
Indian elephant has a special bath, massage, and peculiar diet aside from restorative activity and fitness, as at the Kerala center in India. Humans domesticate elephants for purposes of multiple use; for example, they are utilized for transportation, agricultural activities, employed as guardians, and even for pulling loaded carts stuck in the mud. In India, elephants are domesticated and are friendly with people, and their owners can talk to them because they follow commands.
Third: The Sole Voter
A single voter's booth was placed in the Gir Forest area of Gujarat. Mr. Mahant Bharatdas Darshandas has been the only voter since 2004. For every cycle of elections, a booth is installed for him, although he is the only voter in a village called Banej in the Gir Forest. You must wonder why all these are done for one man. The reason is very simple: India is one of the world's most powerful democracies.
Second: Taxes
It is very difficult for individuals to pay income tax. Only 3% of Indians, i.e., 1.2 billion Indians, pay income tax as agriculture in India is tax-free. Moreover, two-thirds of Indians remain in the rural realm, and hence the majority of the economy remains unorganized and, thus, the reason why it is difficult to collect taxes. Resolution will be necessary to correct the financial imbalance in India and then to efficiently operate the economy of a populace of over one billion.
First: Legitimate Spying
In a country which has a greater influence of the nature of traditional marriage, parents are working day and night to secure for their daughters the best groom. You find individuals posting notices on streets for the services of private investigators regarding marriage issues. In reality, there are private investigators who travel around the country seeking proper information about the man a woman should marry and whether or not he has a past history of having been married.
