I'm also just plain curious about something which I definitely want to make sure is NOT going to be construed as being bigotry or anything like it. So please bear with me....!
Anyway, I've heard it said that South Asians water-washes themselves after taking a dump using their LEFT hand - simple reason being that traditionally, they eat bare-handed, using their RIGHT hand.
Anyway, what I'm curious about/been wanting to ask FOREVER but have not had such a chance IRL (I mean, how do you talk about this in polite society!!) are as follows:
(and I really would appreciate it if someone who DO know, could DEFINITIVELY respond)
a. Is all that I write above correct?
b. That if what I write is correct, would South Asian families be MORE INCLINED to make sure that their progeny are Right handed/force them to be Right-handed even if they were born otherwise.
c. In fact, you left handed guys - do you sometimes wish that you were NOT left-handed? I mean, the world IS designed mostly for right Handed people - and thus I'm thinking that you Lefties must be much more "inconvenienced" vs us Right handed guys - no?
Errr.... sorry if this post IS a bit out of line, even offensive to some of you more refined....but like I said.... I've been wondering for the loooongest time!! So....my thanks for indulging me.
