Indians are very good communicators. They think clearly. They speak clearly. It is easy to follow what they are saying. Also, they very clearly document everything and neatly file them for future references.
I rarely see problems with Indian communication.
Americans, British, Canadians, Turkeys, Russian and Tibet people must learn a lot from Indians in this regard.

But Indians have a horrible habit of head nodding without right context... They give the same nod for a Yes & a No.. which is extremely confusing at times even to a person like me who understand mannerisms well enough....

Boss, there are good and bad communicators everywhere. Why do you have to bring India and the world into this? It's just a simple article on communication...not about nationalism!
When you are in office , speak in official business language . I have come across many times that people from different part India speak in a different language in staff meeting . In my team there are bunch of guys from North , so always chat in Hindi , funniest part is there are 3 American's in team who won't understand single world .

But it's rude to speak in a language the person with you doesn't understand when you know the other guy's language. It's got nothing to do with national and international business - it's just common sense and decency. In every issue why do you want to bring in this national language business is beyond me...
One of the things I have noticed,is that Indians usually talk loudly, even in ameeting room where is is not very difficult for the person sitting far to hear.I dont know if this is right or wrong but I personally dont like this.

Not only that, but the biggest draw back is we dont listen. When we pause, it is not to hear the others view point, but we are thinking what to say next.
We are like this in our general communication. The same will be noticed on our TV channels. The anchor asks a question and before the other answers, he or she is interrupted. Watch BBC or other foreign channels, they ask well considered questions and allow the interlocuter the time to reply.

This primarily happens because we Indians are more opinionated and would want to express them as early/fast as we can. Sorry for my opinion on your comment.

You said it right on our channels. The classic ex. is Barkha Dutt of NDTV. She asks questions and does not let the other person complete his/her question. Despite being named in big scams, she is still arrogant.

Your writer needs many lessons in Effective Communication, of which the most important is to use short sentences because his long-winded complex sentences camaflouge the meaning he is trying to convey and the reader loses track midway.
SHOULD BE WRITTEN AS: -
Your writer himself needs many lessons in English Communication. But the most important is "Use short sentences". His long-winded complex sentences camaflouge the meaning he is trying to convey. The reader loses track in between.

This is the other problem with Indians. Never appreciate what is good. Always try to pull the other person down.

Sorry to disrupt you professor, but apart from the several mistakes in your example, you got the spelling of "camouflage" wrong.
Re: Re: Effective Communication

I saw some senior managers working in my company. They would type fanciful spellings of words and then do a Word spellcheck. However, this has its own pitfalls. Once "defection" was changed to "defecation" by the spellcheck and the manager passed it on as he did not know how to spell both the words.

Spitting on the road, defacating and urinating in the open, talking, eating loud,using others property ...are all part of our etiquette !

In a given situation like this, you too would do it. Hope you heard about those plain crash victims ate dead bodies of fellow passengers because there was nothing else to eat. India is overpopulated and everyone come to city expecting prosperity. The country is not so rich to accomodate their basic needs and facilities. Go to some villages in Kerala and see how wonderful they are. Every one has a big house and happy with less PCI.
Re: Re: Re: sdfsdf

I live in Kerala ! However, we need to make the whole of India beautiful and that can happen only if there is a change in our attitude.
when we express our sentiments language is only media while professionally we improve with time with little practice and there are ettiquettes for recognition of contributions of students by concluding it with right plateforms to begin a new life after continuous self development
