Thank you for clarifying, Subroto. I saw a lot of responses about spicy food being the reason. While I understand that curries and spicy foods can cause odors to be emitted from the skin, the odor I was referring to was more of an underarm smell. I am still wondering a few things: is this not noticable to the person? Is this a normal, common practice in India? Is it strictly habit in India, or is there a reason for it? While in the United States, are they not aware they should be using it (or do not care)? Did someone mention it to you when you came to Silicon Valley, which caused you to start wearing deodorant, or did you realize the odor and just decide to start using it yourself? As an Indian/Hindu, do you mention it to others who may not smell so good?

What I am wondering is if the ‘black’ people have their organizations,it seems ok.If ‘white’ people have such an organization,we are racists,ect…I think that its b/s myself and that the ‘blacks’ need to stop rocking the boat,stop worrying about their ‘race’ and get on with their own individual lives to better themselves,not the ‘blacks’ as a whole.

I think people are just looking for something to complain about. Quit looking at the accents and look at the fact that they were all brought together for a common good. That’S the message. Besides, it’s a movie. Would it have been the same if everyone had an English accent? Besides, I don’t hear Irish and Scottish people complaining about Liam Neeson’s accent, or Swedish complaining about Anakin’s mother’s accent. There is still a thing called diversity.
