1) Indians are known to speaking fast and with the accent , it may be difficult to understand in foreign country- so slow down while speaking.
2) WE are used to being direct with servers/maids/ subordinate colleagues etc - with no please or thank you which may be taken as being rude .
3) WE are not patient with queues and known to jump the queue - which may be impolite and rude .
4) we are not often very aware of social surroundings when in a shop or elevator boarding public transport- which could be taken as impatient.
