Someone sent me these crazy videos from india where in one they made a liquid poop hot tub in southern india and theres like 4 dudes smiling ear to ear in it. One dives under for a dip. Then in another a indian dudes grabbing a turd out of a toilet and then one diving head first into a sewer. Its a meme at this point still funny.
Telephone customer service people with heavy accents but have names like Dave or Marsha.
I chose food, specifically curry, every culture defines itself with food, if you don't eat it you're not part of the culture.
There are so many rats in India that they ate a $500,000.00 stash of marijuana being held as evidence in a drug case. Now they lost all of the evidence.

They really like white people culturally. An Indian friend of mine called himself black and I was like bruh not even close. Back home he's a nigger in his culture. His words not mine
My fianceé is the first thing, but I suppose that's cheating as she immigrated to here *from* India.
Outside of that, Indian cuisine is the next thing that comes to mind. I love baingan bharta and chicken tikka masala. I've learned to appreciate a lot of foods that I previously wouldn't have even attempted to try.
Edit: I do realize I'm biased with this question. Almost all of the things I have heard about the country come directly from my fianceé herself.
I think of:
( The three languages spoken there, yes I know there's other languages spoken there too like Tamil, Bengali, Telugu, Malayalam, Nepali, Kannada and many more . )
- Hindi
- Gujarati
- Punjabi
- Curry
- Tourist traps ( sadly in India its a lot common, a lot of them will illegally charge you over the MRP which in India you cannot do, furthermore if you do find yourself in a tourist place you will know that you will be taken to an overpriced store. It is easy to avoid but hard at the same time as they put pressure on you to buy)
- Bollywood ( no reasons for it but here you go anyways )
- Traditional customs ( for e.g. what the Indians call the Pranama which is used when they see someone older by touching their feet commonly used as an apology )
- Scammers ( unfortunately this too is a common thing police won't even step into arresting them, it's only half of the time they'll arrest them. More seen ones include the typical boring Microsoft scam, IRS scam, Federal grant scam, HMRC scam etc.)
- Hinduism ( one that I always think about )
and lots of things.
