India's love affair with the mustache

Mo, tash, ‘stache, lip caterpillar, slug, even snickering cockroaches (as a pitiful poet once called Stalin’s). Call it what you will, the mustache comes with a fair dollop of history -- and mirth -- wherever it grows. From Magnum PI-styled symbol of virility to Borat-esque nose-tickler, the mustache shouts "pride" louder than most hairstyles. And nowhere is man's dedication to the hirsute upper lip more apparent than in India.
