Answer 1

Its probably curry....ever heard you are what you eat...well there you go, they have a different diet than us, emits a different smell then you are used to. Onions don't bother me its the God-awful smell of Patchouli oil I can't stand...for heavens sake take a shower, use soap!

Answer 2

It's because most of them cook with curry. Curry is a spice used in many Indian recipes. It has a very strong smell and taste, so the smell stays on their clothes. It's actually pretty tasty!

Answer 3

It's usually Curry that you smell... It's a main ingredient in most Indian dishes and the smell of curry will come out of your skin like garlic does if you eat lots of it.

It's not a racist question at all, it's a simple observation that Indian food usually has a lot of Curry in it.
