Hi zhenlijiang, I am from India - many of my friends are left-handed and I do not recollect anyone picking up on them in school! In fact, most Indians are quite clear about left-handedness being innate and left-handed people are treated normally. Schools encourage parents to not force their child to use the right hand. Now, when it comes to eating habits, the tradition in India is to use the right hand only - which is why some Indians find the concept of eating with the left hand (or even both hands) out of place. But again nowadays everything is accepted :-)
