| Mistake | Fix | |---------|-----| | Showing only poverty or only palaces | Show middle-class apartments, college hostels, startup offices | | Using "Indian" when you mean "Hindu" | Specify: "Many Sikhs in Amritsar…" or "Among Tamil Hindus…" | | Filming people without consent (especially sadhus, vendors, children) | Ask first, pay for time if needed, or blur faces | | Assuming everyone is vegetarian | State: "About 30-40% of Indians are vegetarian.
