There are plenty of Indian people who take the necessary steps to eat great Indian food and not smell like it.
Always keep the hoodfan on high, close all bedroom doors in the house, put away all clothes, don't cook in the clothes you're gonna wear out, open windows, light candles/incense. There's a whole process that goes into to ensure you don't stink.
This man should be educated on it.

It really would be no different than me playing an early beer league game, or going for a 2 hour bike ride in 30 degree weather, then just patting my self down, throwing on a suit, and going into an interview smelling like balls, vinegar and chewed up corn chips and expecting to be hired. It is not realistic. If some Polish guy walked in reeking of Keilbasa, pickled herring and onions, it would be no different either.
An employer is under no obligation to hire or not hire you for any reason whatsoever. Regardless of if you are the best candidate or not. He could not hire you because he thinks your voice is too high, or because he doesn't like the color of your tie.
Is it wrong on a certain level? Sure it is superficial, just like the pink hair mattress dude. But where this is different, you are owed nothing, and have no rights to anything, until someone hires you, puts you on payroll and you complete your probation period.
