A gym in Trnava, Slovakia, has sparked controversy with a hygiene notice posted in Hindi, Slovak, and English that specifically mentions a dislike for “strong odours, especially the smell of curry.” Indian residents of Trnava are questioning why the notice included Hindi, perceiving it as a targeted and discriminatory message. Many feel the warning is a veiled attempt to exclude people of Indian origin, implying their food or personal hygiene habits are undesirable. Gym management has not yet issued a comprehensive response addressing the concerns raised by the community. The incident has fuelled discussions about cultural sensitivity and potential profiling within Trnava. Local authorities may be asked to investigate if the notice is deemed discriminatory under Slovak law. The gym’s actions have been widely criticised on social media, with many calling for a public apology.
