To an extent, it is true as we generally lack the concept of personal space, which is sacrosanct in the West as well as in advanced societies. As more and more Indians travel abroad and take up well-paying white collar jobs, it is essential to know something about personal boundaries and the need to respect it and behave accordingly. Now, what exactly is personal space? You can call it the physical as well as emotional perimeter within which a person is comfortable while interacting with others. Experts tend to describe it as a sort of safe zone where an individual feels that their autonomy and safety are safeguarded.
