Job opportunities would have been a problem for those males makeup artists who would have failed to match the exacting standards. Imagine the howls of protest if there had been a rule that only women could be choreographers in Indian films since men had no business to get into a field of activity which was associated with the fair sex. . . .   Continues at:   http://www.dailypioneer.com/columnists/edit/end-of-the-flossy-inequity.html   Jai Maharaj, Jyotishi Om Shanti   http://groups.google.com/group/alt.fan.jai-maharaj
