    I had the same experience with two Indian gentlemen I worked with. Let me say first that they were the hardest-working and most competent people I had worked with that whole year, and the project would have certainly been a failure but for them. One of them was a ‘city’ Indian from Bombay and had no appreciable body odor. The other was from some ‘hick’ town north of Delhi and smelled awful every day – the smell even stuck to my clothes when I went home. Very odd. I never said anything about it, but once the Bombay Indian caught me wrinkling my nose up. Later he said something like ‘those country Indians always smell that way,’ etc. I also found it very odd that the ‘smelly’ guy always looked very clean and neat – not at all dirty. It appeared to me that he took a shower every day, but just didn’t use deodorant. I suppose he did not realize how he smelled – or perhaps Americans are just more sensitive to it because we never leave the house without being almost completely deodorized.
