what is the difference between egypt mummy and indian mummy?

Answer 1

Actual word for preserved dead body is mummy.
There was no system of mummification in India.

Answer 2

The word "mummy" is not of Egyptian origin, but is derived from the Arabic mumiyah, which means "body preserved by wax or bitumen." This term was used because of an Arab misconception of the methods used by the Egyptians in preserving their dead.

The actual process of embalming as practiced in ancient Egypt was governed by definite religious ritual. A period of seventy days was required for the preparation of the mummy, and each step in the procedure was co-ordinated with relevant priestly ceremonies.
The embalmers' shop might be a fixed place, as in the case of those connected with the larger temples. Often, however, it was a movable onersometimes a tent--which could be set up near the home of the deceased.

Answer 6

The most famous Egyptian mummies are "deliberately embalmed mummies". But earlier Egyptian mummies were "natural mummies", formed as a result of naturally-occurring environmental conditions, in this case the desiccating dryness of the desert. They were buried in the hot desert sand, possibly with stones piled on top to prevent the corpse from being eaten by jackals. The hot, dry conditions desiccated and preserved the body.

Indian mummies are probably mostly "natural mummies" or maybe the result of "self-mummification". Buddhist monks are known to have been able to prevent their bodies from postmortem corruption.

"the self-mummification of a Tibetan monk, who died [in Norhern India] ca. 1475 and whose body was retrieved relatively incorrupt in the 1990s, was achieved by the sophisticated practices of meditation, coupled with prolonged starvation and slow self-suffocation using a special belt that connected the neck with his knees in a lotus position."

"The monks whose bodies remain incorrupt without any traces of deliberate mummification are venerated by Buddhists for having been able to mortify their flesh to death. "Buddhists say that only the most advanced masters can fall into some particular condition before death and purify themselves so that his dead body could not decay".(Pravda, 1994)"

"Mummy : Self-mummification" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mummy#Self-mummification

If by "Indian" you mean "Native American", all American mummies are natural mummies as a result of dry heat of the desert or the dry cold of mountain tops or the Artctic Circle.

"Natural mummification is fairly rare, requiring specific conditions to occur, but it has produced some of the oldest known mummies. [...] An even older but less well-preserved unnamed mummy was found in Spirit Cave, Nevada in 1940 and carbon-dated to around 7400 BC."

"In 1972, eight remarkably preserved mummies were discovered at an abandoned Inuit settlement called Qilakitsoq, in Greenland. The "Greenland Mummies" consisted of a six-month old baby, a four year old boy, and six women of various ages, who died around 500 years ago. Their bodies were naturally mummified by the sub-zero temperatures and dry winds in the cave in which they were found."

"Some of the best-preserved mummies date from the Inca period in Peru some 500 years ago, where children were ritually sacrificed and placed on the summits of mountains in the Andes. Also found in this area are the Chinchorro mummies, which are among the oldest mummified bodies ever found. The cold, dry climate had the effect of desiccating the corpses and preserving them intact."
