Could you explain more what you mean with Americans & Indians having different definitions of "no"?

  In Indian culture, it is considered rude to say "No", so you will never get a direct No from them. "Can you do this?" - "Yes, I'll do my best" most likely means that you won't get what you asked for.

    Correct -"I'll do my best" is "No." "I can do it/I will do the needful" is an _actual_ "yes"
