Tibarn Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 If banning religious symbols of Sikhs in the army is stupid now, then it was already stupid in 2004 when this occurred: http://www.sikhtimes.com/news_011904a.html Quote India's military has instructed its personnel not to sport bracelets, birthstone rings, vermillion streaks or sacred threads in an effort to maintain a strict dress code and a secular image, a report said yesterday. The orders were issued after senior officers found that more and more personnel of India's million strong Army were indulging in such practices, The Indian Express said. These instructions are in addition to the standing dress regulations issued in 1962, the paper said. It did not specify whether the ban on the 'religious' symbols had any link to rising Hindu fanaticism in India. The ban also appeared limited to symbols visible outside the uniform. The new instructions are specially strict for the 75 women officers in the force, who are not allowed to wear bangles, ear studs, lipstick or nail polish. A vermillion streak or dot on the forehead - worn usually by a married woman - is permitted but only if hidden by a beret. Men may wear a signet ring on their left hands. The Army top brass has, however, been more liberal with its Sikh officers and soldiers. They may continue to wear their traditional steel bracelet - one of the essential symbols of Sikhism. There is also no bar on Sikhs wearing a turban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But India which has been birth place for Sikhism doesn't think so. Sikhs are allowed to grow facial hair but it has to be well groomed and maintained. Free flowing beards are not allowed. Most Sikhs in the armed forces are extremely well groomed. Navy allows facial hair with permission and it has to be well groomed.It is allowed more due to scarcity of water on ships rather than religious reasons. I have never seen a Hindu soldier with a bodi(the long tuft of hair at the back of the head)...except the Army pandits. I have seen Maulavis with long beards. Training establishments sometimes have temples,Gurudwaras,churches and Masjids (very often together or close by ) in the Army .They try to keep a secular environment when it comes to religion. The Navy and the Airforce have a more non religious secular image. My father often tells us about how there was a time soldiers were given extra allowance to keep big well groomed mustaches.....specially in the Military police.(helped with projecting an intimidating personality) The armed forces are a secular force and taking the issue to court based on religious rights will be frowned upon.I agree with the SC here...keep religion in your houses ...like the rest of the people in the armed forces do.Keep religion/caste card out of the forces.

tweaker Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 A Hindu son can divorce his wife for the cruelty of trying to pry him away from his “pious obligation” to live with his aged parents and provide shelter to them, the Supreme Court has held. A woman becomes a part of the husband’s family and cannot seek to separate him from his parents for the sole reason that she wants to entirely enjoy his income, a Bench of Justices Anil R. Dave and L. Nageshwara Rao observed in a judgment. sandeep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweaker Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 The Supreme Court (SC) on Friday decided to examine all aspects of demonetisation. The apex court drafted nine questions and referred them to a five-judge Constitution bench. It also stayed the hearing of all petitions related to demonetisation filed in various high courts, saying the SC alone will hear the petitions to avoid multiplicity of decisions. However, the bench headed by Chief Justice T S Thakur declined to grant any immediate relief to the depositors on withdrawal of their money in the banks after demonetisation. It did not extend the dates for the use of old currency in various sectors nor did it relax the rules, as it did not want to interfere in the fiscal policy of the government.
