The Story of the Turban: Sikhism


Here's an excellent BBC documentary about the significance of the turban to Sikhs and the controversy it creates today in western countries.  The 39 minute documentary traces Sikh history back to the Mughal Empire.

And here is a link to a story today about the humiliation Sikhs face at airport security, by Arjun Sethi in an editorial for the Washington Post called, "To the TSA, a Sikh man is a target in a turban."
