Challenges in India...?

I am going to India next year to stay for 6 months. As a Westerner, I was wondering if perhaps some of you could tell me of the challenges I might face there in terms of difference in culture, as I don't want to be a complete pain, moaning about things I don't understand. Your help would be tremendously appreciated!!
Additional Details
I am from the United Kingdom - I know heat will be an issue!

the heat, the heat from the food, and the poverty you might see depending if you go right into the big citys' poorer parts, you have to remember not to give them money, if you feel really horrible you can buy them food but dont let people see you give them food or they will think they can get some off you, also some horrible people send street children out to beg for money and when people give the children money they have to give the money to the gangs :(

dress appropriately so as not to attract to much attention. Don't carry too much money. Loads of poor people around so when you give money to one you migh be surrounded by a crowd of others....

In december and January, it is quite cold in India. But if u go to south india, weather is hot almost throughout the year. I don't think heat is too much of a issue for u. But u have to cope with not so sound infrastructure.

take a good supply of toilet rolls you will need them the toilet is a hole in the ground and take a fly swat you will need it and learn to squat on a toilet good luck

It totally depends in which city your are going to stay as India has different culture in every state .... but if you are going to stay in Delhi then you will enjoy the city and surely I can be helpful to you as I resides there and if you stay in Mumbai its little expensive city there will be little problem with the accommodation rest is fine. so If you advice in which states you are going to stay I can help you pls mail me.
