Why Indian people has the most foul odor, is that because they eat spicy and chili in there everyday life?

Answer 1

Not quite,.depends on region, most of them would rub themselves in coconut oil., & other less than pleasing things to the nose as a form of personal hygene, PHEW! and some have the most bizarre form of solid food & fluid intake that gives halitosis that would scare a skunk

Answer 2

I had a Friend in New York City and his apartment was a curry-paprika-spicy odor all over.I don't know the reason,but I think is because these people use a lot of these strong spices.Also I think the pigmentation - skin have a lot to do with the whole thing.

Answer 3

which Indian did you smell or how many Indians. Whoever does not have a bath will stink that might be any human being. It is wrong to make a generalized statement. In fact eating animal protein might leave bad odour through sweat. One thing i surely know that eating eggs sends a strong odour through your sweat. fruit based Alcohol particularly Cashew Feni from Goa, India does send a strong odour from the PERSON who drinks. In general any person sitting idle doing no exercises will lead to bad odour while a person doing a lot of exercises,sweats then has bath will never stink. You make your detail observations and then conclude.
I have many western female/male friends and they love my company. they come and stay at my place and we travel a lot in hot and humid conditions.
But i wonder why you go sniffing around are you a detective?
I highly appreciate the way everybody has answered.

Answer 4

probably because their hygiene habits are different from what most westerners are familiar with. Why do French women often smell? Because they don't trim their hair or wash to frequently under their arms. Just a different culture. Also a large portion of people in India are literally living in absolute squalor. Kind of hard to keep really clean without running water. Diet and lifestyle also has something to do with it. People who eat alot of garlic often reak of it when they sweat. So do heavy drinkers and smokers stink when they sweat.

Answer 5

It's foul to you. Bear in mind that some people like to munch on Durian which to westerners smells like rotten onions.

Answer 6

You have smelly people in al lraces, not just Indians.

Part of it is diet. Another part is culture.

Any race as a distinct smell.

More importantly, smell is subjective. What stinks to you might smell good to another.
