That’s a weird article; photos of her dad, but none of her. WEIRD.
I see a guy with a piercing he is basically saying please rip it out, I won’t offer any resistance.
What is it with that disgusting practice, anyway?
Last night, on the Baltimore, MD, news, there were man-on-the-street interviews in a report about a fire that destroyed some condos. One guy has something poking out of his face, midway between his bottom lip and his chin. He looked as if he had hammered a 4-inch aluminum nail into his face from the inside of his mouth.
Very odd article! I can’t make sense of it. Why was this a big deal? A nose piercing seems fairly common in my South Asian female colleagues. To them it is the SAME as ear piercing.
It is NOT religious or compulsory. It is a beauty thing for them. That is an IMPORTANT distinction. If there was a fundamendalist requirement (like Hijab) then sure ban it.
But, in such cases, while I don’t find it attractive, I guess Indian women and men do. It seems very discreet. If you ever have been to an Indian wedding you will notice every Indian female bar none has a nose ring.
It is good for us to push for Western values on crazy folks who do thing like honor killings and hijab and sex with goats.
However, let us not become a country that does not let fairly harmless cultural customs be banned. This Zero Tolerance society we are becoming is dangerous.
We should fight the hijab not the nose ring.
Just my 2 rupees!!
(P.S. Color me STUNNED that the father is a turbaned Sikh. From my many Sikh friends I have learned that Sikhs are like Mormons and do not like to “deface” the body whether with tattoos or piercings)
“I wanted to feel more closer to my family in India because I really love my family,” said Suzannah....

She wanted to feel “more closer”? Her father is an English professor, BTW.
He sounds like a real gem, as well. He wears a turban and then complains that people don’t see him as a real American and presume that he is “an immigrant, a foreigner”. He whines about always feeling like an outsider, even in his own country.
I guess the rest of us are supposed to start wearing turbans so he won’t feel bad.
I have no problem with this as long as India will invite our kids to go to school in their contry and be allwed to carry big boom boxes that play bluegrss music, hand out jesus tracks and wear crosses, and offer to serve our kids free school lunches of chipped beef.
Indians? Utah?
AT first, I thought people were talking about Utes, or Goshutes, or Paiutes, or Navajo, or Shoshones
But Hindustani Sihk Indians?
She could put a bone through it for all I care.
Piercing is stupi IMO, but who am I to say some idiot cant do it.
I keep waiting to hear of a Sikh male child, going to a public school, demanding to wear a turban and a knife.
I have no doubt it’s coming, though it seems to me if a parent is trying to raise a child to be that observant, he or she should be in a private school... But I wonder what state laws would be, if all the male children in a Sikh school were to be carrying knives...
