No a lot of people in the South eat with their hands.
Even in Kerala a developed State, they have this custom of putting food on a big leaf and eating with their hands.
Also its laughable to suggest the British/Western Influence ended after Independence. After being reduced, in the past decade the influence of Western values and ideas is as strong as ever now in India.
I think India was hurt by rather backwards thinking by the govt from the 1960's to the 1990's.
Another sterotype is that Indian men are horny and perverted. Based of living in India and such and being of Indian decent, I think that its somewhat true.
