Is it wrong to introspect?

I often see videos of foreigners travelling in India, eating rice with their hands and saying ‘eat as per the local culture,

Made me question, can a default setting (of eating rice with hands, not roti) really be a culture?

Wouldn’t culture be something we did on top of default setting? Example like the western used knife and fork(for large meat) spoons(for rice) and the east used chopsticks (to eat small bites) whereas we stuck with eating with hands?

Today the west is making AI and the east is Making deep seek and we are stuck with watching them Innovate while we stick to our culture ? Is it our culture to not innovate ?

Is it wrong of me to ask these questions? Is it an attack on India if I introspect? Is my intent bad if I ask these questions ?
