Wow, I asked the same question @BRF
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->atching some of the Indian english media, I was puzzled by the lack of bindi on the female reports and anchors. I could not have seen all of them, but the majority of it is that the new style or some protocol by the owners? If it is a personal choice, then no problem. Hopefully it is not to show they are "secular"<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
If it is a personal choice, it is a different matter. But if that is necessary to get the job or be on the air, then it is another matter.
Interestingly, SUN TV - earlier friendly with DMK does not exhibit this trait.
I am going to stick out my neck and say, this trait is not prevalent in South India.
