But Sikh scholars estimate that in some regions of Punjab - home to 60% of India's 14.6m Sikhs - as many as 80% of Sikhs no longer comply. And that may reflect the generational conflict in many a Sikh household, between conservative parents and children who want to break free. Dr. Rajesh Gill, a sociologist at Panjab University whose 18-year-old son sports a turban, speaks for many Sikh parents when she says, "A turban is a Sikh's pride...

According to admissions data published in the Harvard University Gazette, 44 percent of the class of 2011 is from the Northeast (New England and mid-Atlantic regions), 20 percent is from the West, 16 percent is from the South, and 11 percent is from the Midwest (the rest are international). These numbers hardly match up with the actual population distribution in the U.S. As reported by the Census Bureau in 2005, only 18 percent of the population lives in the Northeast...
