I think i have finally figured the reason why we, in India, call every adult Uncle/Aunty. The logic is pretty simple, actually.
See
The pledge says that, "All Indians are my brothers and sisters." So, supposing that the stranger that we meet has a kid. That kid is my brother/sister. So, my sister/brother's father is my uncle. Similarly, my sister/brother's mother is my Aunty.
That is why only those who are (or those who look old enough to have been) married are Uncles/Aunties.
Resolved.
