India is a pretty big country in Asia that generally doesn't get as much love from nerds on the internet as China & Japan, probably because their movies tend to involve dancing instead of martial arts.
BUT
India does have a bunch of things going for it. The aforementioned dancing is in almost every movie they make, whereas martial arts are not in every chinese movie. Also in Indian movies fight scenes and dance scenes are often combined which saves time.
India is also a common destination for backpackers who want to get stoned, there is a good chance that the first thing an Indian person says to a foreigner in a tourist district will be an offer to sell drugs. Also alcohol is very cheap. This is contrasted by the infrequency with which Indians do drugs or drink. India as a country drinks very little.
They also have a history of ripping off every popular western movie ever.
In the Indian version of "There's Something About Mary" the private investigator is a kickboxer. Also the disabled brother is also in love with Mary. The movie ends with a 20 minute dirt bike chase scene.
ah yea indias pretty cool
me and a friend were sorta thinking of going around this time
he has been wanting to go for a while and even bought a plane ticket a year ago but cancelled it because of a potential job opportunity
and he asked me because i have been there a bunch with my mother so i have some idea of how things go down in india
and i was thinking of going because i have been there a bunch of times but only ever with my mother which means i have not been able to do any drugs and there is some appeal to the idea of hanging out in india stoned for a month
oh wait last time i was there the relatives or friends we were travelling with got some bhang lassi which is basically an indian weed milkshake sold by government authorised shops and it was prepared the next day for a big party so my mother gave me some of that which was kind of odd
but it was not strong and did not even last for a month

It should be noted that among the various transfer students I have encountered on public transport that I have never had a problem with Pacific Asians or Latinos lacking in deodorant. The same goes for the rare Middle Easterners or Europeans that I encounter. I have no data on African students. It is a blind spot I have.
And only so much bus funk can be placed at the feet of the old guys heading to the VA hospital and the homeless.
I would like to state that this is purely anecdotal evidence and should not be taken as a statement of fact regarding the over all funkiness of a people or nation.
Indian food is awesome, but they dont understand personal space or have a volume knob.
The Indian 'smell' is either a result of all the spices or that goddamn coconut oil some use as a hair product. I was in a salon when the hair stylist attempted to blow dry the hair of an indian customer. We had to clear out because it smelt like a bomb composed of rotting coconuts went off.
The best thing about India is that if you're a balding, middle-aged guy with a bit of a gut and a distaste for shaving, you might be the coolest fucker in the entire country.

Welp, guess I'm going to go watch Blade Runner now
That's your fault, PI, if you were wondering
Also my friend had a wonderful time in India! Really wonderful! And she brought me home some wonderful bags of spices which are currently losing all potency back in the States. I'd go get more myself, but there are five or six other places I want to visit more than India, so I don't know if I'll have time/money to check it out before I leave.

Kissing is gross though, so I guess I'm cool with that.
Also, it is hard as fuck to get a good pile of BBQ ribs in that place. It's like there's a taboo on good eats or something.
But I like dancing
Also Indian women are hot
When I say I dig Asian women I am referring to Indians

Look at Salman Rushdie's ex-wife.

I think this is an excellent rule for anywhere, speaking on behalf of Chicagoan/Korean bus odor awareness
E: Also I'm making chana masala for dinner tomorrow unless I can find ball tamarind, but hahahaha that will never happen
