Mukul-da,
I cannot argue with you about Englishmen's habits since you studied in England
before I was even born. But it seems strange that I never saw any Englishman in
a movie or in a story (by Jeffery Archer, Charles Dickens, Shakespeare etc)
kiss their sisters and mothers on any place besides cheeks or forehead.
I think this topic is going nowhere. Lord Krishna's sister married their
cousin Arjun to produce son Abhimanyu. Lord Krishna was also brother (in words)
of Arjun's other wife Draupadi. Cousin marriage is more common in Muslims .

Don't even Guess.
Englishmen never kissed somebody's cheek!

although the dictionary definition shows that any close relative who is close
enough to be greeted with a kiss (on the cheek I guess)

Subject: [Assam] first cousin - is cousin once removed
I have a question . A 10 yearold student asked a question " What is a cousin
once removed?" I checked on wiki is says once first cousin is one's uncle --
and his children are my cousin once removed. I remember checking in high school
days after reading the term in a Sherlock Holmes short story - perhaps in the
"Speckled Band"
Even an American colleague was not too sure so it seems this is old system
(used by older generation only
