Thats definitely an big outlier. Maharashtrians, like Bengalis, are relatively short, even by Indian standards!

I'm 5'10 and I'm the shortest man in my immediate family. For Punjabis everything above 6 ft is tall for a man, everything above 5'6 is tall for a woman. Punjabis are usually tall in both sides of the border.

I am 6 feet, shortest in my family

I think it depends on castes in Maharashtra. There are certain groups in Maharashtra who are quite tall, well built and have "sharper" features.

Besides we were talking about outliers anyways.

My brother is 6'2. My father is 6 feet. Most of my uncles are above 6 feet and almost all my cousins are above 5'11.

I have an uncle whose 5'8, the rest of my family always make fun of him calling him teda bona (midget). Punjabis don't like short people.

I think Sikhs look taller cause of their turban They are same built as Jammuites, Dogras, Haryanavi, Himachal people otherwise.

Hailing from India, the Great Khali stands at an impressive 7ft 3in [2.21m] and weighs 420 pounds. This enormous monster has walked the jungles of India unafraid of pythons and wrestled White Bengal tigers

Wonder who makes this stuff up!

5'8 is considered short in a Punjabi Pakistani family. I don't know what kind of people you met. Most Pakistani Punjabi girls are near 5'7 or 5'8.

5'8 is considered a girl's height in my family.
