Left Hand Rule
You can give rest to your left hand while you are in India. Indian people never eat with their left hand or they won't pass or receive anything with it. So remember - never give any gifts, money or anything with your left hand.
Feet Rule
According to Indian culture, the head is considered as the superior part of the body and feet, the inferior. So try not to touch anything important with your feet, especially books. Also never point your feet at someone and if you do, express your apologies immediately. However touching elder's feet is considered as a sign of respect in India.

7: Well, I don't think all things said above are vey true. India is never that much strict about smoking or shaking hands with females. You can not be over romantic, but can be a bit in public, I don't think people in metro city would even notice. You'll find people smoking everywhere, except some holy places or where it is said not to. Indian people are good, never hesitate to ask for any help. From gentleman or a lady.

15: Things mentioned here are true. Indians are conservative about their religious matters. They shower blessing on those who respect their culture. So avoid doing things not permitted in their culture. Come to India and share beautiful memories with Indian places and Indians.
