How do they look?  (INDIA) Some stereotypes with which we associate the people of India is with their particular appearance, we usually always imagine them dark-skinned, thin, with a large mustache, with a rather peculiar way of dressing, such as in the image where the subject wears a kind of blanket and they usually never wear shoes. We also imagine them as very devout people, since they believe in many gods and are always praying. While in this other image we associate them with the stereotype of being all vegetarians, because of the idea of ​​what cows represent to them, which are seen as sacred animals. We always imagine them coming or having a privileged deal with these animals.
