[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 111810, member: 35"] [B]The Turban Clinicby THE TIMES OF INDIA[/B] [U][URL="http://www.sikhchic.com/fashion/the_turban_clinic"]sikhchic.com | The Art and Culture of the Diaspora | The Turban Clinic[/URL][/U] There are salons to advise one about hairstyles. But what about salons on how to wear turbans? And to keep up with the latest trends? A unique salon in Amritsar, Punjab, has the answer to this. Called The Turban Clinic, it advises Sikh youth on how to tie the perfect turban and what style will suit them. The clinic has devised as many as forty ways of tying the turban. Patrons can pick the style that suits them the best, according to facial structure, height and nature of work. Advice is also given on which colours to use, depending on complexion. A specially-designed software, [I]Smart Turban 1.0[/I], is used for this. The customer's photo is downloaded into a computer and various turban styles superimposed on the image, and selected. And, if you want to learn the art of tying a turban, take the help of [I]Turban Tutor 2.0[/I]. The salon is the brainwave of Amritsar-based lawyer, Jaswinder Singh, to promote turban-wearing among Sikh youth. Many now prefer to shear their locks in order to look "trendy". Also, those who aren't permitted to do so, wear caps to escape the "tedious" exercise of tying turbans. Singh says his service is free. The venture has already become a success, he claims, as young Sikhs throng the place in the evening to take lessons. "We try and evolve new styles for everyone, because the traditional three styles of tying turban of Majha, Malwa and Doaba regions, now look archaic and conservative", he says. Officials at the Shiromani Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee, the supreme religious body of Sikhs, feel that lately, the turban has come under attack from various quarters. France has banned religious headgear, including turbans, in public schools. In fact, post-9/11, many turbaned Sikhs were mistaken for Muslims and attacked. This has led to fear of lowered esteem among turban users. Also, there is a perception that a majority of girls prefer clean-shaven Sikhs. So, Sikh bodies are taking various steps to restore the pride of place turbans have always occupied. Jaswinder Singh explained: "The basic purpose of the clinic is to stop the youth from shearing their hair, as this goes against the basic tenets of Sikhism. This is one of the most serious challenges confronting Sikhism today". But, he adds that the youth can't be entirely blamed. "Take a glamour industry like films.
