Sir, there is a difference between religion and dharma. like difference
between English culture and English language. religion word came from
church, resulting to confrontation between many European kingdoms and
churches.

Please let religion be stopped from poking its head everywhere.
It has got so many things wrong that if by chance it happens to say
something right, it provokes laughter.
Moreover, as a blind person, I always prefer a handshake to namaskar, though
it is almost a taboo in our Indian culture colored head to toe in religion
and though it may give me some virus by the way.
Smile.
Actually, why are we converting AI into sayeverything, anyway?
By replying to this thread, I am guilty too.
So, excuse me moderator, sorry.

The Sanatan Dharma has been talking about the importance of a namaste or
prannaam from the very beginning, no wonder our ancestors had opened
universities like Taxila and Nalanda where the entire world gained knowledge
and wisdom.

Say no to a handshake, give up high fives, refuse kisses on the cheek
and definitely avoid hugging.

andshake-saying-hello-during-the-coronavirus-outbreak
All around the world people are changing their daily habits at work
and at home to reduce the risk of contracting the coronavirus and
prevent it from spreading.
Here are some of the ways that habits are changing around the world.
China
In Beijing, the capital of the country where the outbreak began, red
billboards tell people not to shake hands but to join their own hands
together in a sign of greeting.
Loudspeakers tell people to make the traditional gong shou gesture (a
fist in the opposite palm) to say hello.
France
Newspapers have been filled with advice over how to replace
handshaking – a daily formality for the French at work and kissing on
the cheek, a regular greeting habit in France even between people who have
only just met.
Lifestyle expert Philippe Lichtfus, who has been widely cited in the
media, insists that handshakes are a relatively recent development in
human history that began in the Middle Ages.
He says simply looking into a person’s eyes can suffice as a greeting.
Australia
Brad Hazzard, the New South Wales health minister, advised people not
to shake hands and instead give each other a pat on the back. “I won’t
say don’t kiss” he said, “but you could be exercising a degree of care
and caution with whom you choose to kiss.”
Brazil
The Brazilian health ministry has recommended that citizens not share
the metal straws traditionally used to consume the caffeine-rich South
American drink mate, also known as chimarrão.
And a kiss – even if it is not on the mouth – is totally advised against.
Germany
In a sign of the times, Germany’s interior minister Horst Seehofer
rebuffed Chancellor Angela Merkel’s attempt to shake hands with him on
Monday, smiling and keeping both his hands to himself.
They both laughed and Merkel threw her hand up in the air before
taking a seat.
Spain
The outbreak could also hit one of Spain’s most cherished traditions –
the kissing of sculptures of the Virgin Mary in the week leading up to
Easter.
With just a month to go before the week starts, the ritual could be
banned.
“It is one of the measures that is on the table,” said national health
official Fernando Simon.
During the holy week, the faithful queue up to kiss the hands or feet
of sculptures of Mary and the saints, seeking their protection.
Romania
Romania’s Martisor festival marks the beginning of spring when
talismanic strings and flowers are handed out, often from men to women.
But the government has passed on a message to people urging them to
hand over the flowers and talismans without the accompanying kiss.
“Let’s give the flowers but not the kiss,” said Nelu Tataru, state
secretary at the health ministry.
Poland
In Poland, one of Europe’s most Catholic countries, the faithful are
allowed to take “spiritual communion” instead of consuming the
communal bread – or the host can be taken in the hands rather than the
mouth.
The faithful are also asked not to dip their hands in the holy water
when going in and out of the church and instead make the sign of the
cross.
Iran
In Iran, where 66 have been killed by the coronavirus, a video has
gone viral showing three friends meeting, hands in their pockets and
two of whom are wearing masks, tapping their feet against each other as a
greeting.
A similar video in Lebanon shows singer Ragheb Alama and comedian
Michel Abou Sleiman tapping their feet against each other while making
kissing noises with their mouths.
UAE
The United Arab Emirates, as well as Qatar, are advising citizens to
stop the traditional “nose to nose” greeting. The UAE also said that
people shouldn’t shake hands anymore or kiss. Greet each other “by
waving only”, it said.
