一家印度網站上提了一個問題：中國文化和印度文化差異有哪些?引起了很多網友的熱烈討論。

India is more like the Middle East, more esp. the eastern end of the Middle East, often considered the southern part of Central Asia-Iran, Afghanistan, and esp. Pakistan, although India and Pakistan are not really on friendly terms, and would detest the notion that they are very similar, much of the time…
I dunno… Indians seem to spend a good deal of time cooking and eating/not rushing through meals, spending time with family and friends, working of course, and just having a good time. They like big get-togethers, parties, weddings, etc., many of which are more family-oriented… I think they tend to be a bit more laid-back than most, calm and methodical/thoughtful, friendly, kindly, good listeners, patient, reflective, peaceful, etc., but yes, there are the bad apples as well of course, scammers, etc.
China is, like Japan and Korea, kind of a 「workaholic」 nation… :-D Work, work, work. Study, study, study. Get A’s ONLY. Nothing but the very best efforts/work ethic in music, martial arts, science, math, gymnasics/other athletics and dance (but not so much team sports, etc.), computer science, technology, and so on. The Chinese are very 「close-knit」 family-wise, but are very likely to have less time for recreational pursuits compared to Indians (work, work, work…), and can seem a bit 「terse」, pushy, extremely focused, etc. at times. Both cultures place strong emphasis on respecting one’s elders, esp. China. The 「traditions」, etc. may also be more socially, even governmentally enforced in China, compared to India, dep. on the region, even though castes still exist in India… The Chinese are just somewhat more busybody-ish, direct, and kind of 「intense」, compared to Indians on the whole.
I’m sure there are others who could give better answers than I could. But there is no mistaking the Indian civility, friendliness and leisureliness, compared with Chinese focus, work ethic and discipline, etc.
印度更像中東，通常拿來和中亞的伊朗,阿富汗,尤其是巴基斯坦相比。儘管印度和巴基斯坦的關係並不友好,並厭惡拿來和巴基斯坦類比。
印度人似乎在做飯和吃飯上花的時間很多，吃飯慢條斯理，和家人朋友相處的時間長，當然還有工作。他們喜歡大型聚會、派對、婚禮等等，其中很多都是以家庭為中心的……他們比大多數人更懶散、更冷靜、更有條理/有思想、更友好、更善良、更善於傾聽、更有耐心、更深思熟慮、更為平和等等，當然他們當中也有壞人、騙子等等。
中國和日本、韓國比較像，是一個有點「工作狂」的國家。工作、工作、工作，或者學習、學習、學習，就是為了拿第一。在音樂、武術、科學、數學、體操/體育和舞蹈(但沒有太多的團體運動等)、計算機科學、技術等方面，付出的努力最多，最具職業操守。中國人非常重視家庭，但與印度人相比，他們在娛樂活動上花的的時間很可能更少（一心只想著工作、工作、工作）。中國人有時顯得有點「精」、固執己見、極度專注，等等。兩國的文化都強調尊重長輩，尤其是中國。與印度相比，中國的「傳統」等可能更社會化。種姓制度在印度仍然存在……總的來說，與印度人相比，中國人有點更愛管閒事、更直接、更「熱情」。

Big differences.
1.If you are a girl,you could dress what you want to go to the street alone and it's safety in China .However ，in India if you dress a little less such as a mini skirt or just a T shirt in the public,you will be stared at by men with offensive eyes.
2.The majority of Chinese do not have the religion belief while Indian do.
3.Indian citizens are divided into 5 classes strictly,which named the caste system.The lower class people have no human rights in front of the senior class.But it's equal to every one in China.
4.China is much more cleaner,cleaner and cleaner than India.
差別很大。
1.如果你是一個女孩, 在中國你可以穿你想穿的衣服獨自上街，不用擔心自身安全。在印度, 如果你穿得少一點,比如迷你裙或普通的T恤,你會被男人盯著看。
2.大多數中國人沒有宗教信仰，而印度人有。
3.印度公民被嚴格劃分為5個階級，這就是種姓制度。下層社會的人在上層社會面前沒有人全。
4.中國比印度乾淨得多。

Right from toes to the head..
All cultural differences are there in China and India.
We mostly use cereals and other vegetables along with some meat…
They use sea food and what what and what not..
We use our hand they use chopstick ..
Our dressing entirely different..
Even heat and turban are totally different.
They were predominantly buddhist before communalism and we are mix of religion and buddhist are no more than a few percent.
But some cultural and historical similarities are there as well.
Both population were not expansionist in past and suffered many foreign invasions.
Respecting every religion was tradition in china as well.
從頭到腳都不一樣…
中國和印度存在方方面面的文化差異。
我們主要吃穀物、蔬菜和一些肉類…
中國人什麼都吃，海鮮等等等…
我們用手吃飯，他們用筷子吃飯。
我們的穿著完全不同
甚至帽子和頭巾也是完全不同的。
他們主要是佛教徒，而我們有各種宗教，佛教徒不超過百分之幾。
二者也有一些文化和歷史上的相似之處。
這兩個民族在過去都不是擴張主義者，遭受過外國侵略。

A discernible great difference between China and India lies in religion. In China, generally, religion is a factor that could be ignored in everyday life.
In China, we don't have such thing as the caste system. An funny saying from China is like, "everybody could become emperor, and I'll be one the next year."
In China, people prefer chopsticks while eating. In India, bare hands are more popular.
In China, people believe the dead should be buried in the earth. Even though cremation is enforced by the government, people still choose to bury the ashes.
In China, education is more valued. The illiteracy rate in China is much lower than that in India.
中國和印度的一個明顯差異在於宗教。在中國，一般來說，宗教是一個可以在日常生活中被忽視的因素。
中國沒有種姓制度。中國有句很有趣的諺語:「皇帝輪流做，明年到我家。」
在中國，人們用筷子吃飯。在印度，徒手抓飯更受歡迎。
在中國，人們認為死後應該入土為安。即使政府強制火葬，人們仍然選擇埋葬骨灰。
在中國，教育更受重視。中國的文盲率比印度低得多。

In a traditional Chinese wedding, the family of the fiance should pay an amount of money to the family of the fiancée.
In a traditional Indian wedding, the family of the fiancée should pay an amount of money to the family of the fiance.
在傳統的中國婚禮上，男方家庭應該給女方家庭支付一筆彩禮。
在傳統的印度婚禮上，女方家庭應該給男方家庭支付一筆嫁妝。
