Best Answer

Three reasons, in an order of increasing relevance -

1. The kind of food they eat: A standard Indian fare requires a lot of blending and mixing while eating.

2.Hygiene: Hands ought to be washed if you're to use them for eating. Thoroughly washed hands are likely to be more hygienic than improperly stored, or worse improperly cleaned, shared cutlery.

3. Tradition.
