    Ok, I have a question. If a Sikh needs brain surgery are they allowed to remove their turban? Just wondering and all.

    I don't think they sleep with it on... I was watching a doco about a Sikh fam and the father put a new one on every morning...

    I chose to get circumcised at 17, don't tell me I never believed.

    So they are allowed to take it off under some circumstances. The sensible option would be to give Sikh officers a dispensation while on armed duty. I mean riot gear involves face shields as well, and they are usually attached to the helmet. Bit awkward with a turban no matter what it is made of.

    This is definitely an anti-riot brain safe! Don't you think?

    Sikh men and turban?
    Do you remove your turban only in front of other men and female relatives (like muslim women who remove their hijab in front of their male relatives and other women)? Or just simply at home? And if you never cut your hair, aren't you people have the longest hair on earth? Or you may cut your hair in certain condition or period

    And why Sikh women aren't required to keep their hair uncut like their men?

    Thank You!!!! ^_^ (No rude comment pls!!!)?

    Hey,

    To answer your question simply, Sikh men are not to take off their turbans even in front of relatives. The only time you should take off your turban is when you go to sleep, but even then you keep your head covered. But to take off someones turban is considered very disrespectful. Sikh men do not usually take off their turbans in front of relatives expect for maybe their spouses.
    Also, your comment about if we don't cut our hair then aren't we the people who have the longest hair in the world? Well actually when you cut your hair, it grows more. So for a Sikh, if you never cut your hair then it only grows til a certian point and then stops. For instance my hair is only til about half way down my back if not shorter.

    And in regards to your question about Sikh women, they are actually required to keep their hair uncut as well. But you may be confused because you may know Sikh's who cut their hair. The difference is that when you get baptized, take Amrit then you take a vow to never cut your hair along with other things. So you may even see Sikh women wear a different style of turban. You can probably even google this and find styles of Sikh womens turbans.

    Hopefully this answered all your questions,

    Take care Smiley

    While I'm against the whole special treatment because of your race or religion bullshit.
    Bullet-proof turbans just sound like one of the most awsome things in the world.
