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)

    ... people were so ridiculous with their illusions, carrying their fools’ caps unawares, thinking their own lies opaque while everybody else’s were transparent, making themselves exceptions to everything, as if when all the world looked yellow under a lamp they alone were rosy.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
