Moustaches and the Caste system in India
In India, it is frowned upon for low-caste men to grow moustaches, as they are seen as a symbol of the upper-caste and wealth. Consequently, in recent years, men sporting moustaches in the lower-caste have been attacked; moustaches have become a symbol of caste rejection, as men continue to sport moustaches regardless of their class. I could explore this symbol of defiance within my poster design.
In Indian culture, moustaches mark individuals' religion and caste, much different to Western values.
