Maybe they are referring to Indians who live in India. If you are vegetarian and deprived of things like milk from a young age - it could lead to a height decrease. In the 1950's, Japanese children living in Japan were 6 inches shorter than Japanese children living in America and its because of the living conditions in America.

No...
I've never thought of Indian people as very short...
the average Indian or sub continental Asian I believe are generally around 5'6" those that are above 5'10" are generally the taller ones. However compared to Caucasian people both heights are considered short.
Also, The average penis size in india is 4'', Making it one of the smallest average penis sizes in the world next to north korea at 3.7''

aren't southern Indians shorter? Then again most of these studies were done by a white man lol. I'm 6'2 and the average for Chinese men is 5'6. All the guys I knew were 5'10 to 6'8
I think it may vary by what part of the country they're from (I've never been there). I've met a lot of Indians over 6 ft tall, but a lot of short ones too.
Never had any thoughts about what the average height for Indians is. I don't even care what it is.
I never knew they were meant to be smaller - All indians I met seemed normal height
most indian men that I have met are under even 5'5"
Yeah ! Most of the South Asian people are in range of 5'.5''-6' .
If 5-5 is average then there is someone out there that is 4-11 to make that average true
I'm 17 and 5'6 but I haven't had my growth spurt yet. Some of my family members are 5'10 to 6'2 so but I do know a lot of us that are 5'5.
Yes Indians are small!
The average American is 5' 10 so no.
You're around the idea :)
I didn't think Indians were short
