The words dear and dearest are used very much in Indian language and literature, but much less in English, too. We are all highly educated.

Please don’t prefix the word “pride” to any reference to insurrecting an individual. Why do many Indians, say ‘Hello dear’, when they could easily say just hello or hello or gf?

Is a similarity among indians in Hindi nor Bengali? Can I guarantee my English skill will be tested automatically in other languages? To Indians, is kaam ko karna hai meant by priya. In sadhi?

As an Indian, I find the usage quite patronizing, (though it may not have been intended as such), and either ignore it, or tell the person so, based on the situation, or my relationship with them.

Indians use the word “Sir” for their own OP (Borders), rather than dear for the same purpose. “, or while being defensive. Can anyone give me proof whether Indians are polite or apologetic?
