Even though we don’t have anything to eat, the guests are never left hungry and are always looked after by the members of the family. Elders and the respect for elders is a major component in Indian culture. Elders are the driving force for any family and hence the love and respect for elders comes from within and is not artificial. An individual takes blessings from his elders by touching their feet. Elders drill and pass on the Indian culture within us as we grow.</span></b></p><br /><p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"><img alt="http://www.hindujagruti.org/hinduism/knowledge/out/thumbnails/1181062143_namaskar_to_each_other.jpg" src="http://www.hindujagruti.org/hinduism/knowledge/out/thumbnails/1181062143_namaskar_to_each_other.jpg" style="width: 418px; height: 315px;" /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;" >“Respect one another” is another lesson that is taught from the books of Indian culture.
