Meaning
A direct command or request to move to a particular place.
Cultural Background
Pointing with a finger is considered rude; use the whole hand. Using 'udhar jao' is too blunt; always add 'kripya' (please). Elders never use 'jao' to each other; they use respectful verbs.
Hand Gestures
Always use an open palm when pointing. It is much more polite than a single finger.
Politeness
Never forget 'kripya' (please) when talking to strangers.
