The very intention of the pseodo secularists is to send the Hindus in to a state of complacency is crystal clear. You supported your views by giving historical facts. But, now Hindus who constitute majority in Hindusthan, will not  believe the sermons and preachings of  these pseudo secularists who created Vote banks to stay in power for two decades and ruined this country. The present Government, under no circumstances will not allow further to happen any division of this country.

True Usha...it is very irritating when our host insists that we eat loads and loads of food and not let us decide how much and what we want to eat. One of husband's cousins has a wife who does that and I have noticed that she force piles food which no one particularly wants. I have now started declining her invitations politely! LOL.

There is no end to the list because there are dozens of such peculiarly Indian habits that are unpleasant and annoying by any standards..I find it highly annoying when hosts fill my plate with food and force me to eat regardless of whether I like it not , instead of letting me  serve myself or if they prefer to do the honors , at least let me have a say at how much food I want on my plate. The excuse is we wont be happy unless you have eaten WELL.. This is just one of the peculiarly Indian habit that is annoying !

No at least it is not possible for me, did you read that there are very less viewers at eden garden when England and WI played final match. It is not right. Eden garden was houseful as usual. People like to see good games. Of course, during the WI- England clash, Eden Gardens stadium was jam packed. Though India could not reach  the finals, for a cricket lover, it hardly makes any difference.

I always make it a point to do my own work.. This habit, I follow wherever I go. A few years ago when I visited my daughter in Bengaluru,  as usual I started spreading my bed. Seeing this, my daughter came running and stopped me, saying, "Nanna,why you are taking trouble. Am I not here ?" I averted her. The same thing happened at the Breakfast time when I was taking my plate after breakfast to the kitchen sink. This time my daughter did not stop me. I believe firmly doing one's own works will give me a sense of satisfaction that I'm not depending on others.

People Talking at the top of their voice as if addressing  a mammoth gathering in the library is one of the habits that annoys me.

Everyone is in hurry starting from the morning.. We need to do many task at a time or else would not be able to complete the work on time.. Now a days even companies are looking for multitasker ad they believe such people would be beneficial for the growth of the company.. Multi tasking is good in these days of fast paced life. But, it has its own drawbacks. Even though my wife is not a working woman, she too does multi tasking in Kitchen. Her intention is to save more time for her Pujas. In this process, she has become victim of quite a few accidents. Some times, hot oil splash out and spurt over her hands. The point I want to drive home is, while multi tasking,  one should exercise utmost care.

In my opinion,  besides political initiatives like the Swatchch Bharat Abhiyaan, my place Vizag, after being selected as a Smart city, improved its rank to break in to top 10 cleanest cities according to Swatch Sarvekshan 2016 . Of course Mysuru in Karnataka remained the cleanest city in India. Now people in my place started realizing the importance of cleanliness. They supported the Government's initiatives. Hence, I believe Keeping the city is not possible unless the Govt, and People work together.

Yes staring at people is the most annoying habit.. I have noticed as well.. Instead of just looking at someone peole like to stare. One of my friend has the same habit.i keep on yelling her that it looks weird to stare at someone, if u like something abt that person, just a look is enough, don't have to stare.. Another habit I don't like is of people who make loud sound while eating food. I understand we all make some sound while eating food , that'ss fine but if it is too loud then its irritating..

The reason is not Modi, but the basic Indian character. I work in Singapore and UAE and find the places 100% cleaner than any place in India and yet this is without an campaign for cleanliness.   Sorry but you cannot compare a vast country to a tiny place like Singapore ...UAE is a rich country with a comparitively  smaller population without any hassle of states and multiple governance. However, my own town has undergone a lot of positive changes with the initiative of the local BJP MLA and MP who are both doing a great job in keeping the city clean and it is the 4th cleanest city in India now. I see even Bangalore is being cleaned up so also some smaller cities and all this is taking place after Modi came into power.

One more most annoying habit that Indians have is that of staring at people.I have had many of my friends from other countries notice this and they find it very surprising that a person can keep on staring and this is true of both men and women of our country ! A habit that is highly irritating and annoying as well !

It appears that most of these are Arab or from Europe. There are negligible number from India, Pakistan and South Asian countries. However as long as there is terrorism, some from everywhere will be attracted in wrong direction. The intelligence and security forces should be capable of handling such situation.  Religion is a senstive matter. some young may be attracted in wrong direction. But 2/3 million is not possible.   No need for millions , a few thousands are more than enough to cause heavy damage to the country...
