Try and use your right hand

You might have read in your early etiquette research that using your left hand while eating is strictly forbidden. Don't worry if this has made you a little uncertain or perplexed. We'll delve into the origins of this particular practice and some of its variants.

In India, eating with the left hand has always been regarded as impolite and unsanitary. Use your right hand to pick up and eat food since the left hand is typically regarded as being "unclean." It's customary to keep your left hand at your side, avoid using it to touch the table, and avoid passing food with it.

Although it is customary and strongly advised, eating with the right hand is not required. Many Indians eat today with their two hands, and some even include utensils in their meals. In India, the acceptance and regularity of these customs varies by location, although forks and knives are frequently used for eating by the middle and upper classes, who don't give much thought to utilizing their left hand.
