Mention the misunderstandings created by the culture of Turban among the Indians and the Britishers.
When Europeans traders first began frequenting India, they were distinguished from the Indian Turban bearers as the hat wearers. These two head gears not only looked different, they also signified different things. The turban in India was not just for the protection from the heat but was a sign of respectability and could not be removed before social superior as a sign of respect. This culture differences created misunderstanding. The British are often offended if Indians did not take off their turban when they met colonial officials. Many Indians on the other hand wore the turban consciously assert their regional or national identity.
