Greek here, never been to India, never hanged out with Indians. The head nod is very easy to interpret. It means 'I am willing to talk to you and even agree with you if you play nice, but at the same time I am looking at you, inspecting you and trying to understand where this is going'.

Given the fact that you lack any Indian cultural references, and given that your interpretation seems to differ from those suggested in the article, what makes you think that your interpretation is anything other than something in your own head?

My interpretation doesn't actual differ a lot from that in the article. I have watched enough videos, you can easily understand what is going on by interpreting the full body language of the participants, part of which the head nod is.
