Sensitive topics
Pakistan is a touchy subject, and many Indians would have strong opinions on it. Be cautious when bringing up the subject and try to stay out of a discussion about the entire thing. It's acceptable to discuss your trip to Pakistan, the people, and the cricket matches between India and Pakistan.
The Jammu and Kashmir Conflict and political disagreements with Pakistan are much better avoided altogether because they have forced a significant number of people to flee their homes within India. Similar animosity and frequently strong disapproval may be shown toward Pakistanis or the country of Pakistan.
China is a very touchy subject in the nation as well. There are disagreements as a result of the territorial war between the two nations. The same goes for bitterness and a strong disdain of Chinese people. When discussing business, it's possible that the Indians will prefer to talk about China.
Do not disparage or cast doubt on religious beliefs. This could seriously hurt their feelings even if you didn't mean to and put you in an embarrassing situation. When describing the caste system, exercise caution because Western perspectives on the subject are frequently either out-of-date or inadequate, or both. Caste prejudice has virtually disappeared in some urban areas as a result of recent social transformations.
Sri Lanka is a contentious topic throughout the subcontinent, but particularly in Tamil Nadu. The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, a rebel organization located in Sri Lanka, assassinated former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi in 1991.
