Does it REALLY matter?

The moral police have found their latest victim - Harbhajan Singh, who appeared in an advertisement with his hair down. Once again, it appears a wardrobe malfunction is all that stands between salvation and and endless cycle of birth, death and rebirth. Seriously speaking, uncut hair may be integral to the Sikh faith for historical reasons, but what Harbhajan Singh does is his own business - he isn't projecting Sikhism in a poor light, nor is he impinging on anyone else's freedom. Conversely, it is the SGPC that is coming off worse by demanding an apology.

Still, if he's damned to an eternity of rebirth, Indian cricket will be well served. If only we could get Sachin Tendulkar and Kapil Dev to commit some heinous crimes against religion...
