Did indians degenerate in the last 100 years or something? every photo of an old indian i see on the net looks like he'd would be in the top 1% of indians today

I know that the =reason is probably my memory being selective but still wondering if something happened

Suboptimal lifestyle, today a lot of natives are more sedantary and can pickup bad habits like drinking booze, smoking tobacco and/or marijuana, and harder drugs. 100 years ago most that stuff was not always easy to get, plus there are drugs today didn't exist back then

It's a few things. Sedentary lifestyles are a factor; as physical activity stimulates the body. Staying indoors are another factor; since red light stimulates the growth plates during puberty. Hence why people who stay indoors more often have recessed faces, small bones, etc.... as compared to people who are outside for most of the day). Another factor is that due to the green revolution the soil quality and hence the nutrient denseness of crops; has drastically gone down. So you have to eat more crops to get the same level of nutrition as one's forefathers. Another factor is that Indians drink less milk today. Now it's true that meat is a better source of nutrition then milk (it has more nutrients, it has Taurine and Carnitine etc..) and is an infinitely better source then veg foods (more bioavailable, no anti-nutrients); but this is only true if you eat enough of it; at least half a pound a day (though any amount is good because you at least get Taurine and Carnitine). And has to be seasoned very lightly (because spices have anti-nutrients; so it inhibits the absorption of nutrients) and has to be cooked at most medium rare or less (anything more cooks out the nutrients of the animal foods). Milk in India is raw; so actually has nutrients. And the final reason is seed oils. They inflame the body leading to a whole host of problems.

The Indian diet today is very different than it was in past centuries.

Hindu Indians rule India and they're the worst types of Hindus. Things have gotten worse under BJP rule.

The average Indian height has decreased and BJP governed states are said to be the worst affected, I wonder why.

There were always millions of indians. You probably looked at selected higher class guys photos. Average sickly and dysgenic indians were not the ones to be photographed
>>
>>18410096
Everyone degenerated due to low quality slop diet and sedentary lifestyle. Go look up pictures of Australian abos 100 years ago vs today.

the modern Indians you are most likely to see are poor urbanites who live in a literal toxic hellscape of pollution from child birth to eventual death. vehicle exhaust, household trash fires, industrial chemicals, degrading plastics, constant noise, human and animal waste, heavy metal contaminated dust, all of it and more just fucking permeates the environment they live in, day in, day out.

Yes, Indians are one of a couple of nationalities decreasing in height nowadays due to a massive swell in population unable to keep up with food supply. The average Indian in the 90s was taller than his cohort at the same age today. They were warned in the 70s and 80s about the stresses of overpopulation on their urban centers, but didn't act fast enough.

it is because the lower caste dysgenics multiplied uncontrollably in the 20th century, it's slowing down, but still the ones with high birthrates are the most isolated and poor

Many western countries were still practicing eugenics until the 70s so well after the boomers had been born. Doubt India was doing anything at all to control the quality. Agrarian rapidly urbanizing country with poor hygiene, poor diets, caste nonsense and changing lifestyles must've done a solid number 2 on them.

>Milk in India is raw
Indians always boil their milk you're just making things up
>>
>>18412771
Milk isn't homogenized in india.
>>
>>18412782
>milk isn't blended
Ok and? Indians almost never drink milk directly, it's nearly always directly churned into ghee or curd. Both involve boiling the milk nearly to the level that pasteurization requires for an extended period of time
