I travel a lot in South East Asia and Middle East and in adverently you bump into someone from India.
We Indians have not learnt to adapt to the outside culture and habits. For example, i was once travelling by Thai Airways from Delhi to Bangkok and i could see a bunch of people from Northern India, blocking the passageway and playing "cards" as if they were travelling om Rajdhani express...that mentality of "i have paid for the ticket, i'll do whatever i want" should change.
The passengers on that flight NW042 who were not listening to the airstewardess deserved to be handcuffed..i mean if they are so adamant and their hand phones are so precious, they should travel by boat..becasue they are risking the life of all passengers on board..there is a good reason why electronics should not be switched on board..These people should have been thrashed and beaten...i am sure they will never repeat such incident again,,leave alone flying again!!!!!
