What do you do if someone tries to rip your turban off?(Or if your turban fell off)

[Guest sdwq]

Hello,

My question is what do you do if you are involved in a fight and your turban falls off , or the 'enemy' tries to rip it off? What would you ? Would you fight and dont care if your hair is seen? Take it off by yourself and wouldnt give him the chance to take it off? Run away? Please some serious thoughts - because this can happen everywhere and everytime . I mean if someone else sees your hair, what would you do/think/react?

Tie a strong turban so it doesn't happen. Protect your head area so the enemy can't touch it. I'll be honest, it's happened to me once. I quickly put it on as the guy tried walking off. I then went and got revenge. Lets just say he doesn't make turban jokes anymore. Most people were understanding, and they've forgotten about it now. Running away is a bad idea. That's double the besti.

Why is it shameful for others to see your hair?

Do the righteous thing and don't be worried about your appearance.

I've been in fights and not cared if turban has come off. What would you do if they came after you whilst you tried to put it back on?

Why do you tie a turban then? Isnt it supposed to protect and be tight and not to fall off...? I mean everytime you get involved into fight , they will try to focus on your turban , because they feel proud or something if they take it off.. Furthermore if someone puts down the turban the value of the turban and what the turban stands for/was supposed to be gets low... I mean you never show hair , and then people see they will say like uuhhh hahha or something. They will everyytime try to focus on your turban and try to rip it off ...

So why ask the question?

If it's to cover hair, why not cover facial hair??

If you're a proper fight, what happens to your turban is inconsequential. You're fighting for your life. Don't focus on your turban or other people seeing your hair - it may get you killed. Focus on the enemy, the target and nothing else.

tie a strong dumalla

[Guest Cisco]

this is what dumalla shasters were for i.e: blade in the front top section anyone trying to grab the dumalla from the front gets cut also used from lower positions to attack throats etc.

But yes in todays society tie a tight secure dastaar firstly. secondly maybe have a smalles patak or keski incase your dastaar comes off, make sure your rair is securely fastened underneath.

Wicked warrior makes a valid point, if you lose your dastaar in a fight so be it, the primary concern is to not get too caught up in it maintain your structure and be ready for more oncoming attacks. A distraction could cost you your life.

Depends on the situation, if someone tries to knock / pull it off, try not to let krodh take control, but would have to definately teach that person a lesson!!
