В статье рассматривается такой «антистандарт» красотыу ряда народов Южной Азии, как   плоский нос. Внимание уделяется современному бытованию данного феномена в культуре, а также возможной истории его происхождения. Анализируется лексика, использующаяся для описания такой особенности внешности, а также упоминания плоского носа в фольклоре и связанные с ним коннотации. Выдвигается предположение, что плоский нос как «антистандарт» красоты закрепился в культуре Южной Азии уже очень давно, и на его формирование повлияли два основных фактора: наличие носа такой формы у побежденных еще в древние времена неарийских народов, некоторые группы которых впоследствии вошли в индийское общество «на правах» низких каст, и практики отсечения носа в качестве наказания за преступления, связанные с честью рода и общества.

The article deals with such a beauty “anti-standard” among a number of peoples of South Asia as a flat nose. Attention is paid to the contemporary functioning of the phenomenon in culture, as well as to its possible origin. The vocabulary used to describe such a physical trait, as well as the mention of a flat nose in folklore and the connotations associated with it, are analyzed. It is suggested that a flat nose as an “anti-standard” of beauty has been entrenched in the culture of South Asia since a very long time, and two main factors influenced its formation. These are physical characteristics of the non-Aryan peoples defeated in ancient times, some of whom later became low castes, and the practice of cutting off the nose as punishment for crimes related to the honour of the family and society.
