I am honestly getting fed up of my country now. Again got intervened by a staff for just saying women Hi.

So went to this Cafe in Indiranagar which is often the trendy and "Hipster" part of our city Bangalore in India. There i just approached 4 Indian women sitting and just said them Hi and waved. I just said them I am saying Hi to new people and they smiled and waved back but i walked away saying okay have a great day. But suddenly a staff came to me and in an angry expression said "Hello whats your problem?" He kept asking whats my problem but I just walked away and out of the Cafe ignoring him. This was the 6th time I got intervened by staff or Cafe manager for just even approaching a woman. The women were clearly adults(21+) and i did nothing bad but they ignored the women's agency. Just greeted them briefly and walked away. Last saturday too another Cafe manager in Church Street confronted me just for waving at a woman near his Cafe. I am frustrated with this country. India still has moral policing. I am just putting myself out there but people just cant mind their own business here.

We as human beings need to interact with other people. It is in our nature. Unless I missed it the women did not protest to your attempt to engage with just a friendly hello

I would not patronize those establishments in the future and just move on. Here in the states I really don’t think your actions would result in the same manor as your present location what we should keep in mind here you might get that kind of treatment because of the color of your skin so who is to say which is worse at least you can change how you are treated by conforming to local laws if there is a law

One thing I will add and this is not directed to you in particular but the one common trait amongst people that lash out towards other people in the most horrific ways eg mass shootings is that they are loners and feel isolated from other people for one reason or another none of those reasons are justified. But if you think about it those horrible people are indirectly created by us of course not all but a good enough percentage. Just my opinion
