In many parts of India, it is common for people to use their left hand for personal hygiene tasks, including wiping after using the toilet. The right hand is typically reserved for eating and greeting, as it is considered more socially acceptable. Cultural practices regarding hygiene can vary significantly across different regions and communities in India.

What are some hand gestures in Portugal?

If you run while holding your butt, it indicates that you have to use the restroom. If you slam your head against a wall or hard surface, it indicates that you are confident in what you are doing. If you lick your hand and wipe it on somebody's face, it shows respect.


How was the problem between Native Americans and settlers resolved?

Generally speaking Courts and Society said that you can kill Indians, charge to kill Indians (for fun) and Indians cannot kill you (it is unlawful for an Indian to kill a white man). These same institutions also said: You can move onto the land owned by Indians, and as long a you make claim to it, you become the owners of the land and Indian law no longer applies to that parcel of land (IE: Native law that you can kill a thief cannot be implemented). The end result of this is: American's could move onto Native American lands, kill Indians, claim the Indian is the aggressor and call for the government to wipe out the tribe - and that is resolution.


How long did it take the settlers to completely wipe out the Indians?

i honestly don't know but that is an interesting questionThe answer is that the settlers did not completley wipe out the Indians, and a quick look around your neighborhood, or any North American city, town or countryside, will tell you this. There are many hundreds of thousands of "Indians" living on this continent.One "wiped out" tribe does come to mind, this being the Beothuk Indians of Newfoundland who were believed to have migrated across Canada from British Columbia. Shawnadithit, who was also named Nancy April by the Newfounlanders who rescued her and her family from starvation, was the last surviving member of the tribe. She died in her late 20's at St. John's NF in 1829.In any case, I will point out here that the Beothuk were not "wiped out" by settlers but were a peaceable tribe wiped out by other war-like tribes, disease, starvation, miserably harsh Canadian winters and perhaps a lack of survival skills in general (such as the ability to farm).Shawnadithits story is fascinating and is real. Her drawings and other recorded information tells us much about the struggles of bands or families of native people during those years. Read it!!
