RE - Is he allowed to carry his religiously required kirpan dagger?

I also noticed that yahoo did not mention their knife(kirpan) one of their five required articles of faith. I can only guess that was intentional by yahoo. shave and haircuut would be a better idea. If he wants it bad enough,let him join the indian army.

I’m NOT sure about in 2019 (as I retired in 2006) BUT Sikhs WERE ALLOWED to wear their DAGGER, TURBAN & BEARD by the US Army for decades.
(I don’t know about the USAF, USCG or Navy department.)

Also, “back in the day” women soldiers of “certain very conservative Christian religious sects” (for example: River Baptists) were allowed to wear their small white lace cap indoors at work, IF their denomination required that they were always to be “covered”.
