Abstract
In the 19th and early 20th century, nasal shape, size and nasal indices were the most commonly measurement to
differentiate races. A detailed study has been carried out in a random sample of 180 males in age group 18-24
years to neglect the affect of facial parameters in subject above 18 years of age. The study is aimed to determine
a set of comparative standard values of the form of the North Indian young male nose and of its relevance to
forensic science and clinical anthropometry. A highly significant comparison was found in the nasal indices of
two ethnic groups, in the present study. The data revealed that the M.P. male had leptorrhin nose while U.P. male
had mesorrhin nose. Various other parameters were also compared in a sample of 90 Madhya Pradesh and 90
Uttar Pradesh males.
