Why Do I Touch Peoples' Feet in India?

You've seen me touching a lot of peoples' feet in India. But why do I do that!?! My own parents thought that I was kissing peoples' feet!

Touching elders' feet is a sign of respect I do for my Indian parents-in-law, relatives, and other respected people.

It's me paying tribute to someone who has more wisdom and experience, and in turn, they bless me with their knowledge & strength through our relationship.

This is a very powerful sign of respect in India, and it's one thing that melted my in-law's hearts when I first met them.

Would you do the same? Tell me in the comments.

Two more things: This is part of Hindu culture (called charan sparsh), and it's not practised in Islam. Hindu women also cover their faces (called purdah or ghunghat) around strangers in our region of Rajasthan & Haryana (the new generations are stopping, though).
