The way Indian tourists behave abroad is an extension of the way that they behave in India. It is not surprising as their boorishness and courtesy is evident in daily life, with the "I" factor being most prominent. You find brats screaming and running around in malls ,public places and even in places of worship with the parents smiling indulgently. People talking loudly on mobile phones , people on the phone while driving (erratically), driving in the middle of the road at a slow pace so that others will not be able to overtake, people suddenly parking in the middle of the road, unmindful of the disruption and inconvenience that it causes to others, honking as though they have just been given the horn as a Diwali present, etc. This boorishness will end only when we stop being selfish, and law applied equally on all.

Instead of complaining in this message board, do something to better the lives of us poor souls, and show the way. Be adaptive dude, if you want to live happily.

Shamita, you have talked about a completely different aspect of civic sense (or lack of it). The writer of this article discusses the racial behaviour of Indian towards fellow indians when the white skin come into the picture. Any suggestions to resolve the problem?

Suggestions are to treat fellow Indians with respect including waiters and butlers, and TIP whenever they receive good service, then you will see a SEA CHANGE in attitude.
