>They are. "Obesity in India has reached epidemic proportions in the 21st century, with morbid obesity affecting 5% of the country's population" 5% of the population is hardly enough to call them fat but fair enough, seems like the entire world is getting fatter as they become more wealthy and industrialized.

> 5% of the population is hardly enough to call them fat But 7% is? India and America have statistically similar rates of morbid/severe obesity. That said, about 74% of Americans are overweight or obese [1]. The fattest Indian states barely break 40%. But if you only looked at middle class and above, I wouldn't be surprised to see numbers similar to America's.
