ABSTRACT
There’s nothing low-key about turban wearing. I had experiences of being chased by gangs and being beaten up. I was laughed at by doormen as they refused me entry into night clubs; the times they let me in it was the fellow clubbers who found me hilarious. I got accustomed to being made to feel not terribly welcome anywhere. I remember with horror watching my turban roll down Garnethill, having been dislodged by a rather cruel school ‘friend’.
