patriarchy and monogamy is still the norm in India so not surprising. Urban India is becoming slightly taller
Isn't monogamy the norm everywhere in the world except Islamic countries? So not sure where you're getting with it.
Monogamy in marriage is not the norm anymore in the West. No patriarchy and enforced monogamy implies rampant hypergamy
Oh yeah, you're totally right. Not true monogamy in the west anymore.
Also, it can't even be blamed on genetics since the sub-continent is hugely diverse, so in any case, it should have been the average of all the surrounding population (I guess the sub-continent has got almost all the races that exist in the entirety of Eurasia?), and not the shortest ones.Indians got shorter over last decade, trends in ST women need urgent attention, JNU study says

It's because Indians are so God damned materialistic....rushing like fools to western materialism and accumulation.

Does your spiritualism increase height? That's why.
socioeconomic factors related to height such as nutrition and protein intake
The food situation has been improving in India, hasn't it?
yeah more calories, but those calories are coming from unhealthy foods like ultra processed foods and junk food. you can still be malnourished and fat at the same time
I don't think so, and even thier diet is trash only curry (spices) and vegetables, it isn't because short men or tall men are/arent reproducing it is because of nutrition which india lacks and causes stunting in height.
But Indian food has always been like that. Doesn't explain why they now get shorter.
only logical explanation is that they are getting less than before which explains why they are becoming shorter due to the stunt for thier growth, but it really doesn't make sense, as even rich groups in india got shorter, must be the curry genes

The nutrition doesn't explain it, because the diet hasn't changed and the food situation has improved. So the reason is something else.only logical explanation is that they are getting less than before which explains why they are becoming shorter due to the stunt for thier growth, but it really doesn't make sense, as even rich groups in india got shorter, must be the curry genes
"For men, the average height declined significantly across all age groups, castes, tribes and residence. Maximum significant decline was observed among both the poorest and the richest wealth index categories" -

Did some research and the food situation hasnt really improved for the past 45 years.

But that doesn't mean that the food situation has been getting worse. The food situation was bad before and it's bad now. Doesn't explain why Indians get shorter.Did some research and the food situation hasnt really improved for the past 45 years.
"However, undernutrition and stunting still persist as roadblocks for the country. India is the home to almost one-third of all the world’s stunted children and half the world’s wasted children. As per the NFHS-4, wealth quintile analysis gives us a further grim picture – half of all children from families in the lowest income quintile are still stunted or underweight. While India has made sustained rapid" and
"Evidence suggests that the average daily calorie consumption in India is below the recommended diet for all groups, barring the richest 5% of the population; 63–76% of the rural poor could not afford a recommended diet in 2011."
"42% of children aged 6-23 months were fed the minimum number of times per day for their age, 17% received minimum dietary diversity and 6% received a minimum acceptable diet. "

Now it makes sense the people arent even getting thier daily recommended which causes the stunting, my theory was correct (not the curry genes one
my theory is thier parents and maybe grandparents got thier growth stunted, so when they had offsprings the children just got shorter especially the rural areas and among both men and woman, if you see countries that are tall you see thier nutrition has improved through the years, while the same logic can be said to countries that has bad nutrition for years, they will just get shorter and don't forget India has a high population so short parents will have short kids and the kids will get thier height stunted while they are still young.
