It may be due to the cultural differences
Explanation:
- People born and brought up in different societies have different way of talking.
- They are not always rude but people from another society may perceive them as rude due to their accent.
- Such as mostly people who don't have a Punjabi backgrounds or don't know Punjabi feel that Punjabi's are rude but they are not rude actually it is the way they talk.
- Same is the case in western societies. They talk politely because it is part of their culture. They are brought up that way.

Rather than terming it as 'politeness', we can tag it as a regional accent, precisely, cultural difference.
Explanation :
- In western countries, people call out unknowns as 'Ma'am' and 'Sir'. Likewise, In India we add 'jii' to their names which might not look polite to them as they are used to the foriegn greetings.
- Think of a western guy addressing a rural mate as 'Sir'. Any Indian guy will feel awkward facing those terms unexpectedly. The warmth we feel in our local accent is totally different. And the same applies with the western people too.
- Secondly, people here rather prefer being friendly, than being some unknown stranger. We mostly don't feel if someone in our region talks with us friendly. We are used to it. Remember, it has almost become a habit to us. And habits can't be changed easily.
- The surroundings we have been brought up makes the difference too. You can expect the daughter or son who have been raised in the richness, talk like some middle class person. One can be polite or can be a brat too.
- Overall, It's all about the culture around us. One who is habituated to it finds it warm, while the other one may feel offended.
- Come on! We are exposed to these things in the inter states too. Don't we? I find Tamil people's lifestyle friendly. But I can't expect everyone to feel the same, right?
