The Custom of Shaking Hands

People of different nations have different customs of salutation. the Japanese bows, in my India says "namaste" and the Chinese makes motion of the hand. But the most world the custom of shaking hands is followed. Recently this custom has been criticized on hygienic grounds. It is said that some more healthy mode of salutation should be adopted. But this custom has became too deeply ingrained to give up. a greeting without the warm grip of the hand is cold and resulsive for them.

Yes, as you said this is very difficult to remove as its seeped into the cultures of this civilisation.

It seemz d people r ok wit d culture other wise they wud hav change it. As it is, therez nothin one can do abt dat.

*Nice topic

yes , without a handshake that feeeling wont come , handshake also finishes the hesitation most of the time like we are handshaking with our elders ,teacher or boss

Evry country has its own customs ,same is the case with religion,and our families.these customs are our identity though people makes us differentiate frm dat customs and i like handshaking..

oke now morning times we make handshaking sweet

hand shake is not salutation bt itz fullfill the salutation. In ma realigeon nd culture shaking hand aftr "Assala-mu-alaikum" is a best atitude bt not compolsury.

nice topic but it's nonsence for me to consider hygiene when expressing feelings..! Then there are so many things which we should avoid lol but yes sometimes it's ok to consider any way it's good to hear about this topic

Don't hesitate to shake hands,who knows it may kill germs in your brain.

If shaking hands is enough to make you're hair stand on end you probably want to stay away from France. la bise (Not sure what the English word is but its that double cheek kiss thing) is almost as common as hand shaking.

Nice
