While surfing i came upon this interesting news, that British scientists are working on making Bulletproof Turbans, for the Sikhs in the British Police Force. Since the Sikhs are not allowed to wear any protective gear on top of their turban, they are not allowed in the British forces. But now, scientists are developing the sturdy turbans made from Kevlar-like material to act as a shield, British newspapers reported on Thursday.
Inspector Gian Singh Chahal, from Kent Police and vice-chairman of the British Police Sikh Association, said on Thursday:
Sikh officers have been prohibited from becoming firearms officers because our religion does not allow us to remove the turban. Nor can we wear the Nato helmet for public order policing. There has been research done into producing a ballistic material for turbans and we would like to follow any opportunity where we could manufacture a ballistic product”, the Sun quoted Singh as saying.
