Turban (Sikhism) - Prohibition of Caps

Prohibition of Caps

A man born into a Sikh Family should only wear a turban. For sikhs the wearing of caps is prohibited. It is written in SGGS "Hoye Sikh Sirr Topi Dhare Saat Janam Kushti Hoye Mare" sikhs who wear hats, or caps have to be born 7 times as korris. Still many sikhs wear caps just for fashion despite of knowing this fact which is considered wrong by many Orthodox Sikhs.

Famous quotes containing the words prohibition and/or caps:

    No political party can ever make prohibition effective. A political party implies an adverse, an opposing, political party. To enforce criminal statutes implies substantial unanimity in the community. This is the result of the jury system. Hence the futility of party prohibition.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    At the milliners, the ladies we met were so much dressed, that I should rather have imagined they were making visits than purchases. But what diverted me most was, that we were more frequently served by men than by women; and such men! so finical, so affected! they seemed to understand every part of a woman’s dress better than we do ourselves; and they recommended caps and ribbons with an air of so much importance, that I wished to ask them how long they had left off wearing them.
    Frances Burney (1752–1840)
