Question

Is the practice of kissing a product of the western influence in India, or is it human instinct?

Answer 1

Look at the kajuraho sculptures. You will be ashamed to see them with your family members. Indians were the past masters in that field.

Answer 2

Yes it is, because if you relize the older people don't really like it or step away! It is just recently

Answer 3

It doesn't really make sense as a natural human instinct, considering it doesn't really accomplish anything, except maybe as foreplay. That's not to say it isn't nice, though! : )

Answer 4

it show the affection,  when we see a child we kiss them.  it is only human instinct.

Answer 5

Not at all. It is a very much natural instinct ( and beautiful one ).

Answer 6

It is only a behavioral copying & adopting .

Answer 7

i think kissing in general is an natrual human instinct. However, before "western influence" putting it out there for the whole world to see..indians prefered to kiss and show affection behind closed doors. after all indians invented the kamasutra so its not like they didnt know how to.

   I think the western influence is really good and it has improved and changed a lot in india.  But  i guess they had to pay a price since all the good stuff was coming and they were changing for the better.. a little bad stuff slipped in too.. Kissing outside is not considered taboo now..but i mean how do you change the minds of a billion people? they are still not going to like it!

Answer 8

i guess the question should be "practice of kissing in public". u can say it has some western influence but still i don't ppl kissing on roads, railway stations etc.. they only do it only in a more enclosed private place like pub or garden
