    His doctor was like “Hey man, you gotta take your turban off and put on a motorcycle helmet.”
    And he was like “Nah, bro, what if I just wore a bigger turban?”
    And his doctor was like “Dude, you’d need a turban that’s like 100lbs to offer you the same protection as a good helmet.”
    Avtar: “Bet.”

      You’re joking, but that’s actually the idea behind all of the chainmail and metal woven into the turban. It’s basically a traditional military helmet.

    According to the internet the turban fabric is 645 meters long, weighs 100lbs and takes several hours of his day to put on… His neck must look like a question mark lol

      If he wears it everyday I imagine he must feel a lot lighter at the end of the day like there’s less gravity. Also 100 lb is 45.35924 kg apparently.

    This guy would totally say something like “I would comment upon your mother, but cows are sacred in my country.” And then ride off on his motorcycle before you could respond.

      for real, those clothes are doing a lot of heavy lifting (🤭) in hiding those shoulders. Homie could probably tag-in for Sisyphus for a lil while

      There was actually a study that showed turbans are surprisingly good at absorbing rotational force and they might’ve helped inspire stuff like MIPS on modern bicycle helmets.

        Well if i was told the correct thing one of the main reasons Shiks wore turbans in the past was to protect their heads when they fell off their horses in battle. So yeah, a helmet.

        Also apparently the “bracelets” were to tie their swords to so if they dropped it while on a horse it wouldnt just fall leaving them weapon-less.

        Theres more reasons behind the 5 K’s (the above being two of the) but i cant really remember them.

      You don’t need drugs when you have religion. With ‘Singh’ in his name, he’s most likely a Sikh and Sikhs are required to wear turbans. This is basically his way of being the Sikhest Sikh that ever put on a turban. It’s like a neck-hurting equivalent of the people who wear Jesus-themed T-shirts and get into a car covered in Jesus bumper stickers.

        He’s definitely Sikh, specifically Nihang, judging by the decorations on his Dumalla. Nihang Sikhs are traditionally warriors, and would wear turbans with chainmail woven inside to act as armor against slashing weapons. They also typically wear blue, and the steel bangles are also emblematic of Sikhs.

          And that’s a real dagger tucked into his sash. (I learned a bit about fighting Sikhs from reading Neal Stephenson’s Termination Shock, and watching a load of YouTube videos.)

            The Sikh dagger (kirpan) must be worn and sheathed, but does not have to be sharp. So it is not necessarily a functional dagger.

              If he’s a Nihang wearing the world’s biggest turban and 8 ridiculously gigantic karas, then, my friend, taya-ji there definitely sharpened his kirpan. 🤣

              He might be stoned, too.
