1. Use only your right hand to eat.
2. Do not touch any common vessels with your right hand.
3. Do not transfer food items from your plate into the common plate or into other's plates.
4. Wait till everyone's food arrives before you start.
5. Compliment the cook at the end of the meal.
6. Wash your hands after the meal (and before you begin too)
7. Have lots of fun eating ;)

Dear Brother, we have really good table manners in India. All families in India have this common and excellent aspect that the elders of the family dine along with the young members of the family. Though most of us indians do not use spoon and fork while eating but we nevertheless enjoy the naturalness of the food equally great. The indian food being spicy and delicious, one can hardly find anyone leaving any leftover as the aroma and deliciousness of the food compels one to lick his or her fingers marking the end of the eating session.

Wait till all the food is served and the host requests you to start.

Pray to lord for the good food.
Thank the house wife.

table manners were created during british time. those who were able to speak good english were considered to be mannerful and those who were not able to speak good english were considered as robust. holding fork on the left hand, chewing food with closed lips while eating food are certain manners britishers identified to measure the manners. but we follow it even now forgetting what is really convinient for us. britishers have no answer which hand a lefty has to hold the fork!

Indian culture teaches that one should eat with the right hand only. The left hand is for personal ablutions and therefore is not to be used when eating food. However, modern India oftens uses utensils using them to eat in the ways of the British.

i went to have a meal with some tibetan monks and a tibetan nun, in the himalayas. it was a simple but tasty meal. at the end of it the little old nun, about 80 years old suddenly lifted the plate to her face and licked it all over. i was a bit suprised at the time but always recall it with amusement as it is something i do myself, in private, when finishing off some of my own, home cooked meals!
i hasten to add that it is not something that i saw indian people do.

Most Indians are new to table itself.

Sitting in a Table, by itself is a manners for many.
