That's surprising 😕🤔. How can saying thank you anywhere in world can put someone in trouble, lol. I guess you read it in a humour or in sarcasm. Indian people are really very helpful and kind in nature. We really respect and welcome our guests. Ans as the Saying goes in India, (Guest is God) that is absolutely correct. Even an illiterate person in India can understand 'Thank You', because its so much common. I think you read in other context definitely. Moreover I would like to know @sugandhaseth's take in this.

That's what i thought, I think the Author of that article was just over board with his or her idea of Indian culture. Here

Now that Singh has been in the United States for so long, he finds that saying “thank you” is second nature. But this has also gotten him in trouble while visiting family in India. One time he thanked his uncle for hosting him in his home and was met with an expression of disgust and disappointment. There was no need to say it because to do so was a violation of the intimacy of the relationship. In India, the assumption is that family and friends are kind to each other because it is expected. Assuming otherwise cheapens the gesture

Oh, I get that now. It's kind all about the love and gratitude Indian people have. Here it is expressed in context of family relationship. Yeah its bit overrated but still persists. Family relatives usually don't accept thanks because they do everything in love and affection. As i said earlier no will ever say anything to guests or strangers, it's totally a good and common gesture. 😊🙏

Yes, I understand pefectly.
Namaste.
