Indians usually say "take" rather than "eat" or "drink". Might be a Britishism too.
Another Indianism: they say "I have a doubt about ..." rather than "I
have a question about ...".
It takes some getting used to, but Indians easier to understand (on average) than the Chinese. I so wished I'd learned Mandarin long ago. Would have beeen good for my career.

Indians also say "How did you come to know this" or "And then I came to know". or "How you find out about that?". They are mostly really nice peoples but deep in the recesses of my mind I often wonder if they might actually be alien.

Yeah, I talk to people from India quite a lot where I work. I actually have noticed them say "take" rather than "eat" very often, but one thing I've noticed is they often use the present-continuous tense (for instance, instea of saying "I have a computer", they'd say "I am having a computer"), and oft it doesn't sound quite right to me.

I get the "having" thing alot too... and "I am having challenges".
Then there's the head bobble. Not many of them do that at work but when they are together I catch them. It's so funny to me.

Another common saying is using "probably" instead of "Maybe" or "Perhaps".
"probably i will see the error, you know when i am probably coding".
"yes that happens to me all the time, probably when i am cooking"
of course lets not forget they believe their people are descendents of Aliens so maybe that's the whole thing. Deep under their skin lives alien fish beings straight out of a Lovecraft story.

They are.
Many of them are mean.
Especially towards women, while talking about how they are not.

One guy i work with told me his "dream was"
"To walk up someone standing on a bridge, and just push them off"
or
"To drive in my car and when I come to see a Sheriff vehicle just ram as hard as I can"
so... usually, hidden in those types of things is a bit of humor that comes out all wrong. He was trying to be funny, and came out sounding psychotic.
or...
he really means it.

I've worked with people from India where I work, and I've never heard that t of thing or got that type of impression from any of them.. I've heard that type of humor before, but not from people from India.

They also find american baseball hilarious. Cricket is very serious for them, but when they watch american baseball they laugh at stuff like
when the runner at first takes a lead off and then the pitcher throws
to first and he rushes back.

Cricket is a really good way to connect with Indians. Easier for us Aussies where cricket is a popular summer sport. The Indians I knew cheated like anything in backyard cricket, but I quickly learned their ways and beat them their own flavour of cricket. :D That was a rather fun day. :)

It is a well known fact that Indians cheat at anything, at any chance
they get, including education. Google pictures of family and friends scaling walls of universities to give answers to students. It's insane.
They look for the shortcuts for everything in life.

They spend horrendous amounts of money to have things done in their
homes and repairs on their cars, because they feel doing that work themselves is below them. They don't see it how americans do, that independence and ability to survive is what its all about. Skills.
I've had a few tell me they would die in a few days if left or trapped somewhere. And I believe it.

I've heard from some that parents in India often want their children to be a doctor or engineer, so a lot of their colleges are filled with students trying to get into those programs, and their colleges are very competitive. I was reading somewhere that they have so many people trying to get into those programs that they don't have enough people for other jobs they need, such as garbage haulers, cleaners, and various other jobs and work that
One was also once telling me that service and infrastructure stuff in India (such as electricity, water, internet, etc.) isn't as reliable as in the US, and sometimes it can be out for a couple days or so while they wait for someone to fix it.

Yes, basically if you're a male in india you're either going to be an engineer or a doctor. A few sub categories fall under each.
It seems even a lot of females in India go to get engineering/technical degrees. One thing I've noticed in my field is that it seems there are very few American women in technology, but there are a lot of women from India (along with men from India) in the industry..

How did they get jobs in the US? Does your company recruit them?

I was just curious. In my area many people from India become Doctors. I know how they get here. Government grants for medical school. It's a burden for me because I don't understand a word they say. Even when they speak English. I'm not comfortable with that at all. I feel I have a right to understand what my Doctor is saying. If I have to go to the ER it's hard to find an MD I can communicate with. It's bad enough they have no "bedside" manors but you would think with all the schooling they would lose the accent. Even if just a little.
