SLUG: FO/INDIA-TURBIN DATE: Downloaded 3/27/2009, MMM. CREDIT: Rama Lakshmi / TWP , India. Amandeep Singh Saini, 27, a PhD student (in white shirt) rebelled against his traditional Sikh parents when he was 14 and cut his hair and discarded his turban, the most visible symbol of Sikh identity. A majority of Sikh youth in India have short hair and do not sport a turban. The community has initiated an array of programs to infuse turban pride among the young.
