Referring: “The real cost of posh’s locks” 17 AUG

24.08.09

Dear Editor,

I am writing to you to express why I am strongly agreeing with the idea of the article “The real cost of posh’s locks”. Would you want your hair practically stolen and given to some rich celebrity? These Indian women are getting fooled into thinking that this religious ceremony is getting them closer to their god Vishnu. Instead the temple is lying to them to make profit. As said in the article “in Northern India, thousands of women will be divesting their crowning glory”. Many women are going without any payment whilst the hair salons wreak the profit.

Also this process is not a pleasant one as “they wait patiently in line on the cold stone floor, to have hair shaved off with a dry razor”. If they are going to steal these women’s hair than why not do it with a bit of kindness, instead of the brutal way they are being treated. These women have no clue that their hair is now on some A-listers head. “Does anyone dare to ask where it comes from or how much women in poor countries are being paid”, no they don’t. This is because all people care about is that they have these brand new locks. “Not a cent is awarded to women in the Indian temple”. Instead of money why can’t they be awarded with food to keep their family’s alive.

Thank you for reading my letter and I do hope you write many more outstanding articles in the near future.

Yours faithfully,

...
