Indians avoid eating onion and garlic because they are considered to be "tamasic" foods in Ayurveda, a traditional system of medicine in India. These foods are believed to increase negative emotions and decrease spiritual awareness. Additionally, some people avoid onion and garlic for religious reasons, as they are considered to be "rajasic" foods that can stimulate desires and passions.
