People have too much time on their hands (me too, seeing I am posting on this :\) .
I am sure Oprah knows all about India, but still wanted to make an impression of 'wide eyed tourist', so asked some silly question. (I mean, 'eat with your hands' is not all that foreign or third-world : how do you eat Pizza? or Wings? or Bbq?) And now she's happy that somebody noticed and created a storm in her tea-cup. Otherwise her big visit to India might not have even been noticed.
Maybe she requested somebody to be 'offended'.
