A Sikh youth who joined the US military was allowed to wear a turban

There will be a judicial fight for full approval

This is the first time in the last 246 years that a military man has been allowed to wear a turban

New York: A 26-year-old American Sikh officer who joined the US Marines has been allowed to wear a turban. This is the first time in the last 246 years that a soldier has been allowed to wear a turban on his head.

Importantly, the Sikh jawan, who was recruited as a military man, threatened the authorities that he would file a case against the government in court if he was not given full freedom according to his religion, according to a media report. Military authorities allowed him to wear a turban with certain restrictions.

First Leaf every day for the last five years. Sukhbir Singh Toor was wearing a United States Marine Corps uniform, but when he left the house on Thursday morning, he found a full Sikh turban on his head, according to a report in the New York Times.

Sukhbir Singh's turban is the first incident in the US Marine Corps' last 246-year history as the US Marine Corps does not compromise in its prescribed uniforms, the report said.

Now I don't have to decide whether I should choose my religion or my country. "Now I have been honored in both ways," Sukhbir Singh said in an interview.

When Sukhbir was promoted last March, he was considering appealing in court. The conflict between the two core values ​​of the US military has been going on for years, and those values ​​were discipline and uniformity and constitutional freedom, the New York Times reported.
