In re: Bharatiya peopleS & their use of ‘Uncle’/’Aunty’

I do not mind people calling me uncle.
HOWEVER I prefer using 'Sir'/'Ma'am'/Ji etc when talking to older people. I find the use of 'uncle'/'aunty' to be cringe.
Examples of what's worse:

• Using 'ankal/anti' and indulging in further cringe worthy conversation while talking about friends - 'how 'ankal/anti' are so nice but their son is not.' &

• Praising ‘anti ke haath ka khana’
