This is a picture which Aaron took at Lal Qila (Red Fort) a couple of weeks ago in Old Delhi. Similar signs are seen in most museums and galleries. Many of the men as well as women chew spiced tobacco as well as paan (betel leaf, often with spices). It is similar to what is commonly referred to as dip in the US. The main difference from the US (besides being much more prevalent here) is that nobody carries a spit bottle. People freely spit the bright red juice EVERYWHERE. You will almost always see it in the corners of the stairwells in malls, apartment buildings and offices. You will also see it on the walls, sidewalks, in the street, on dogs, cars and peoples shoes and pantlegs.
