Typical questions in any second class non A/C Indian train:
Indian - How much do you earn?
Tourist - :confused1:
Indian - Is she married? (pointing at your gf/wife)
Tourist - (thinking: and your mother, is she?)
Indian - Do you know that India is a superpower and that Times magazine has said by 2020 we'll be the richest country in the world?
Tourist - Really?
Indian - Yes, we have space program.
Indian - Do you know why people commit suicide so much in your country?
Tourist - Please, enlighten me.
Indian - You lack spirituality. Hinduism is the oldest religion in the world.
Tourist - What would I have to do to convert to hinduism?
Indian - Sorry, not possible. You have to wait to your next life: if you are lucky, you may be born hindu.

Agree: use your common sense and no major problem in principle, especially being two. Just beware of keeping some distance. Indians usually consider themselves irresistible for Western women (been told that several times by them), so normal signs may be considered an "invitation" to go farther.
Don't know southern India, but everyone says they are MUCH nicer, politer, friendlier.
