unclean left hands Janet Kuypers 12/4/13 Don’t use your left hand in India (that’s the hand used for wiping after defecating) — for that reason the people in India believe the left hand’s unclean. So, while in India he washed his hands after using the public bathroom, saw others do the same. But he saw one man put soap on his right hand, rub it with the back of his left hand, then rinse his right hand. His left palm never touched his right hand, or soap, or water. So I guess I see they have more reasons to believe the left hand’s unclean.
