The Pressures That Come With Wearing An Orange Turban In Public Places

By Jennie Sandoval


Wearing an orange turban is a culture. There are people whose culture requires the wearing of this accessory over their head. It is a sign of respect to their religious beliefs. People should just respect religious practices and beliefs of others to avoid conflicts.

If these people who are into wearing such accessory is not doing something bad or are law abiding citizens of the country, there is really no reason why you should be bothered with the way they keep their hair. The practice is called Sikhism. A sikh wears it over their head to keep their hair from exposing.

They believe that as a sign of respect to their God, they have to hide these hairs. They wrap the cloth around their head to keep the hairs from sticking out. They do not take off the cloth until only when they need to go and take a bath. Of course, when you wash your hair, the cloth wrapping it up has be to be taken off.

Some people have qualms about people wearing them. Kids at school who are wearing it get ridiculed at school. Not that they have a choice. Their parents want them to wear them wherever they go but they hate getting caught wearing it because of peer pressure.

There is a contention whether or not kids who do not feel comfortable wearing it should be made to wear it in public. These groups of people who are into the practice of keeping their hair like that are in constant battle to be accepted in society. Some people would never get it. They live in a world where such practices are not common.

So when somebody sees them with it, they think they are crazy or some kind of a freak. Other say that people should be given the choice to wear it or not. But for kids who are under the supervision of their parents really do not have that much options when it comes to the wearing of such cloth over their head.

They are told that it is part of their customs and beliefs and that they should honor it by setting an example and actually doing the practice despite the disapproval look of the other people around. Some say that children should just go on with the whims of their parents when it comes to this custom. When they reach the legal age, they can choose to wear the cloth or not if they do not feel like.

However, there is a danger of having assimilated into the practice. For over so many years that you have been doing the thing, it cannot be avoided that the custom has already been incorporated into your system. You cannot possibly think going out with it covering your head.

Soon you will find yourself forcing your kids too to wear the head covering. Life can turn out unexpected like that. It is funny that right now you are having doubts about the orange turban but wait until you get older and you have tolerance and understanding of the culture that your ancestors have kept alive all these years.
