If anything, allowing a Sikh soldier or policeman who has very long hair to collect it under a turban sounds like a far better option than having it uncovered and just tied in a bun or something. Wearing their hair that way would pose a risk to their safety (should their hair become unfastened during a confrontation).
what is the definition of a uniform, and what is the purpose of a uniform?
oh, and I thought that being a hot asian woman you knew there were thousands of ways to attach your hair.
Well, it doesn't really matter how I answer that because you will just respond by giving a definition if 'uniform' that is incompatible with allowing Sikhs to wear their headgear while on duty.
If I'm not mistaken, during the colonial era the British army had whole regiments made up of South Asian soldiers who wore a turban in place of a helmet. Maybe the lack of cultural fascism is one of the reasons they dominated the French in North America and ultimately the world.
