why on earth would you say that? helmets are not topis. i have no problem wearing a helmet over a keski or bandana...

you're making a really big assumption with that statement.

agreed. i have been told that the law states that the turban must be of 2 meters or more in length to qualify as a "turban" and therefore substitute for a helmet.

i'm still searching for the exact wording of the law.

it's very simple, really, move the joodha to the back of the head, cover with a helmet. no problem.

Just look at picture's of milkha singh he participated in olympics with only wearing hanky
on joora also look at picture's of hockey team upto 70's you will find hardly any player who played hockey with turban.

Tell me how could one dive's with wearing a turban.Patka's has provided much support for sikhs or you would have found more and more sikhs cutting their hair.

we're talking about motorcycles, not olympics, hockey, or diving.

Re: Sikh Harrased for not Wearing Helmet >> Invite Your Friends

Amar and jasleen just read this

The Tribune, Chandigarh, India - Chandigarh Stories

New Delhi, September 30
The Supreme Court has exempted Sikh women from wearing helmets in the Union Territory of Chandigarh while driving two-wheelers and has modified the Punjab and Haryana High Court’s order regarding traffic regulation in the city to a great extent making it more practicable.

A Bench comprising Mr Justice Arijit Pasayat and Mr Justice P.P Naolekar said, “We direct that if any exemption is granted to any person, including Sikh women, from any of the Motor Vehicles Rules relating to different states or areas or under any statutory rules, the same shall operate notwithstanding the directions of the High Court that all persons, including women, shall wear helmets” in the Union Territory of Chandigarh.

The Chandigarh Administration, while seeking modification of the High Court guidelines on traffic regulations in the city, had said under the Punjab Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989 and the Chandigarh Motor Vehicles Rules, 1990 Sikh women were exempted from wearing helmets and the same should be allowed to them in Chandigarh.

LOL

why do you always bringing in segways into discussion?

i got suckered in on this one

the question is-

is patka = pagg as defined for indian road laws??

it is not!!!

so patka wearers must wear helmet


why don't they want to wear helmet?

Amar I don't think That anywhere it is mentioned in indian law that turbans are replacements of helmets.If you have seen some haryanavi jaats wearing turban and driving bike's then it does not make it legal.I just told you truth that sometime's police too do not harrass them.If you don't like it then its your wish.Please remember Its india not usa and uk

thanks for quoting the punjab code... can you find the national law? i don't think punjabi law would apply in the case in question, since it's in karnataka...

i see. so that's their excuse for looking like a little kid or a bollywood joke? well, i guess it's a free country. kind of.

how hard is it to tie a proper turban over that keski/parna/patka and then untie it when sports time comes?

sorry, it's not relevant to the discussion, it's just a pet peeve of mine. the fact that when bollywood makes jokes of sikhs, they're usually wearing a patka and full beard may be an influencing factor in my dislike for adults in patkas.
