'A sikh man in New Zealand removed his turban to save a boy’s life – and his story is going viral.
Harman Singh used his turban to stem the bleeding of a five-year-old boy who had been hit by a car on his way to school.
Men of the Sikh religion are expected to keep their heads covered by turbans at all times in public.'

Neighbours Club Together To Buy Furniture For Sikh Who Removed Turban to Save Boy
Nice. But now it’s a headline that a guy shows a sign of assimilating?
Sikh aren’t the same as the Sickos. But most people don’t know that, and therefore what you sat is true.
Finally those turbines are useful. Good for this guy
Sikhs are the good guys. They are not Muslim.
I am beginning to understand why a Sikh-American was shot dead after 9-11.
I know what Sikhs are. This is a headline And it’s about assimilation. That’s wacky
Turbines are useful for lots of things. Jet engines, for instance. ;^)
Sikhs have a long history of terrorism.
While I know and recognize that Sikhism is not a monotheistic religion, still my first thought is that any loving God would prefer life to be saved over standard rules of religious behavior. I am pretty certain that over the years many of all religions have done similar praise-worthy things with religious items.
As a comparison and contrast though, I am reminded of the fanatics who boarded up and killed school girls in a burning building because they would not be properly clothed if they fled the building. My head and heart has a hot place for people to end up for eternity!
Put a turbine on your cat and see what he/she does with it. Kicking it off
It is not so clear-cut.There has been Sikh terror, but not nearly as common as muslim terror.
Just don’t attack Amritsar
In my experience, if there is Sikh or Buddhist “terror”, another group caused it to happen. Muslims are usually a good bet.
Sikhs are good people. I used to work with one, an engineer. He wore his turban every day, and immaculate dressed.
One Saturday we were working overtime on a project, so the rest of the company (300+) was not there. He came in and I didn’t recognize him! He was not wearing his turban and suit. He was wearing some loose fitting robe thing and his hair and beard were nearly floor length!
So if you want to know what’s in that turban, it’s their hair and beard!...................
Those are for playing ‘Hide and Go Sikh”................
The Sikh families I have known are very family centric, and all children are celebrated and protected. I was on a long TDY and my wife was getting all frazzled about taking care of the kids and house, etc. I asked my Sikh friend to look in on her. He brought his parents over. Dad mowed the lawn and fixed a problem with an electrical circuit. Mom cleaned the house and made three days of meals for my wife. Needless to say, my view is a little skewed by the genuine love and caring that they gave to my family.
I wear a canvas belt for basically the same reason.
It can be used in a lot of emergency situations.
