Radhakant, from Uttar
Pradesh in northern India,
acknowledges that his wife
has, at times, wished that
he would cut his ear hair
off, but he says that she has
agreed to let him keep it, as
it is a source of pride.
His 25-year-old son is
already displaying
signs of growing
similar ear-hair,
although only time will
tell if the son can
eventually take the
place of the father.
