IMO, namaste is not objectionable (to me at least!). Just as I would not be
offended if some one said 'good morning' or 'buenas noches' :-) Being a

right to object to anything thats not a personal attack. Least of all a
salutation in a different language!!
Peace.

they will be patted on the back. It is not Indian culture, but a Tamil
custom.

interested in some other discussion. Sorry, I don't have time for such
discussions. You should pay a visit to JNU for such debates whether
Tamilians are Indians or not and they know about Namaste or not?
Good Luck!
