In this chapter, a broad review is presented that highlights how India is second to cultural diversity to only the continent of Africa. It is a land where many contradictory ideas and practices are synthesized, which makes living here a challenge for sojourners. Three streams of literature that are useful for intercultural training are reviewed. First, cultural practices – greetings, food, attire, driving, and gender issues – that impact everyday life are examined. Next, differences identified in cross-cultural research – political behavior, working in groups, social loafing, and leadership – that impact intercultural interactions in the workplace are presented. Finally,some of the indigenous Indian constructs and theories – Indian concept of self, spirituality, spirituality-based theory of creativity, lajjA as behavioral guide – that help understand the Indian worldview are reviewed and discussed. The chapter ends with a critical incident that provides a concrete example of how values shape business interactions in India. It is hoped that the chapter will serve both trainers and sojourners in learning about India for effective intercultural interactions.
