   I found it interesting the Japanese people bow to each other, and even tho it was a Lil hard to get used to I did manage to follow the social cue.

   On my way back to India I kept on thinking if I should just keep on doing this and should this be a standard in India too.

   Came to the conclusion that we were forced to bow our heads and bend our knees far too long by the ones who oppressed us. And our forefathers have their blood and sweat to keep our head held high.

     I have stopped bowing for many years now. We should respect each other irrespective of the age. Why should only the younger people bow to the elders?

     In Japan bowing is rooted in mutual respect and equality. In India it's gonna be the extension of the inequality and caste privileges. Until a casteless society forged with equality is a reality. We shall keep our heads held high.
