Yeah, there must be a fine line between carnivore & cuisine in that region.
Serious questions, I understand why the wandering through your yard is annoying but why do the following bother you?
1) how many people are living there and the fact that only 1 has a job
2) whether or not their lawn is mowed
I ask these questions because our neighbors have two families living on their property. One family lives in the main house and the other family converted an unattached garage to live in. And also they haven't mowed their lawn yet this year because their law mower broke last fall. I can take pictures to prove this if you want me to.
My point is how many people live there and how high there grass is has no effect on me what so ever.

We'll definitely need a picture, but to prove it's not just a stock photo you need to include a handwritten sign that indicates 3TrueFans is awesome in the frame.
It very well could be a culture issue. When I go to certain markets the folks have no issue with standing in my space, bumping my cart, or nudging me away from items we are both reaching for
Well, you already have awkward, namely neighbors who aren't respecting your privacy. So, you can get antagonistic and maybe help the situation, but more likely make it worse in ways that you haven't even thought of. Or you can do something to try to become "neighborly." I find that serving someone food that they like is often a good way to start a neighbor relation well.
I'm not the OP, but people griping about un-mowed lawns is not uncommon. Cities have lawn mowing ordinances for a reason. Maybe the point about the number of people living there vs. the number who are currently employed was meant to illustrate there's plenty of people available with ample opportunity to get it done.
Says the guy who moved so he wouldn't have to deal with neighbors.
To the OP: it's interesting to learn more facts. This does sound unusual and it sounds like you've used a neighborly approach already. I'd stick to it, but maybe write them a brief, clear (read it to yourself and revise it if necessary and try to read it from their perspective) letter explaining your concern and making your request if the neighborly conversation does not work again. They can at least then slowly process the letter and translate it carefully.
Otherwise, if they still continue to trespass, as another poster said, get your neighbors involved and ask the police to come out and explain the situation to your renter-neighbors. My guess is you won't have as good of relations with your neighbors after this, but you may beyond this point anyway since your neighbors seem come onto your property and walk around. Ask the officer to talk with them about the situation and that you don't want the officer to issue a trespassing citation now, but that it needs to stop. I'd go to the police before I go to the landlord, but I suppose that depends on your relationship with the landlord.

So I wouldn't have to deal with judgmental neighbors. Mainly ones who would complain about my racing equipment being at my house.
Working with as many Indians as I do I would say they don't have the same understanding of boundaries as we do. If you explain to them that it is considered rude to just walk around on their neighbor's property that could be the end of it.
I'd look into moving. I hate dealing with that stuff and even if you do have confrontation, it's just going to be awkward later.
IF the landlord is the same landlord of the neighbors, you have might be able to take that route to improve things.
Bottom line for me is that if I can't be comfortable in my own home I want out.
