Anastasia Sharova living in India (Anastasia Sharova) has shared a video on his Instagram account, in which he has shared the 5 big ‘cultural shocks’ between India and Russia (Cultural Shocks), due to which she got into big trouble in the beginning.
Anastasia says that in India, everything from road rules to the way of conversation is completely different from Russia. Let us know which are those 5 things about India which have baffled the foreigners.
Flashing headlights: According to Anastasia, the meaning of gestures while driving on the road changes completely in India. In Russia, if a driver flashes the headlights of his car, it means – please go first. But in India it means exactly the opposite. Here flashing a dipper means- get out of the way, I am not going to stop.
Hotel Stay: Indian hospitality is famous all over the world, and this was a shock for Anastasia. He told that in India, if you go to a city where your friends or relatives live, and you stay in a hotel instead of staying at their house, then it is seen as a serious social crime. People get angry as to why you did not give them a chance to serve.
Direct call instead of text message: What irritated Anastasia the most in the beginning was the fact that people in India prefer to make direct phone calls instead of typing messages. He told, whether it is professional or personal work, here people immediately divert the call to resolve the matter immediately. In the beginning, this habit used to cause a lot of trouble and irritation to me.
In India ‘yes’ does not always mean ‘yes’! In Russia, if someone says ‘yes’ I can do this, it means that he will definitely do that work. But Anastasia learned in India that sometimes people say ‘yes’ out of respect for the other person or just out of courtesy, which does not always mean completion of the work.
Calling elders by name: The way of respecting elders is completely different in Russia and India. In Russia, if you do not call an elder person by his first name, it is considered an insult. On the contrary, in India, calling an elder or a teacher by their name is considered rude and a grave insult. Here it is necessary to use sir, ma’am or ji.
Debate broke out on social media
This video of Anastasia has become viral as soon as it came on the internet. People are expressing their opinions in the comment section. One user wrote, all the things are 100% true. However, the matter of phone calls and messages depends on each person’s personal preference.
