At an Indian restaurant in Bangkok I saw an Indian family of just 4 - husband, wife and 2 kids - creating such a ruckus with the kids running all over the place and the parents screaming after them as if they were sitting at home, I had to get up and flee out of sheer shame. In Indra Market you can see them bargaining heatedly and going to the extent of arguing with the hawkers for not reducing prices further. Would you believe this: I once saw an Indian chewing gutka at the departure lounge of the old airport and spitting on the carpet.
I think travel agencies that organise those thousands of package tours ought to spare a thought for the motherland's honour and educate their clients on how to behave in a foreign land. Any flight full of Indians is a cringing shame when you see the men grab at the drinks and harassing air hostesses for endless refills.
