USA allowed Sikh military men to wear turban ( Current Affairs Till - Jan 2014 )

Current Affairs Till - Jan 2014


  • By updating its policy on 23 January 2014 USA allowed the Sikh military men to wear turbans, head scarfs and religious clothing with their uniform.
  • The uniform relaxation would allow personnel from different religions to wear turbans, skullcaps, keep beards and tattoos.
  • Soldiers, marines, sailors and airmen belonging to the said religions can now request exemptions to strict military uniform and grooming policies.
  • However, the requests would be evaluated individually and could be denied if they hinder military readiness.
