ABSTRACT
This chapter examines a cognizable explanation for the Sikh turban under those tremendous time considerations and with a view towards mitigating the ignorance surrounding the Sikh turban. It should be noted that the significance of the five articles of faith and the turban were not fully explored after the creation of the Khalsa. The dastaar, as the Sikh turban is known, is an article of faith that has been made mandatory by the founders of Sikhism. A guide published by the Seattle Times to help educate the public about Sikh turbans after 9/11 illustrates the physical differences between the Sikh turban and turbans worn by others. Sikhs are members of a modern, monotheistic faith. Afghan men wear a variety of turbans, and even within the Taliban, the strict Islamic government that controls much of the country, there are differences in the way men cover their heads.
