Chinese turbans

Should we add information on the turbans worn in China? Especially in reference to the Red Turbans Army. Houdinipeter (talk) 23:00, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There was also a yellow turban army, and the boxers wore turbans; i.e., turbans seem to be associated to rebellions in China, meaning anything we write will be deleted by the 50 cent party within minutes.

Sikh turbans are among the most recognizable worldwide, so I don’t think it’s inappropriate for the first image to show one. However, leading off with two very similar images does strike me as undue. Any suggestions for a replacement for one of them that would better capture the scope of the article in the first screenful?—Odysseus 1479 00:33, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Christian bishops

The headdress of Christian bishops, called the mitre, comes from the Greek word μίτρα mitra, meaning "turban". Considering the enormous degree of cultural exchange between Ancient Greece and India, this word mitra is recognisable as, and probably identical to, an analogous word in Sanskrit meaning "ribbon"; which, by a circuitous etymology, also supplies the Hindi word for "friend".

Utility

There seems to be no discussion of the utility of these things. I suspect that they have, or had, some use other than adornment. Let's see, the obvious possibilities are protection from sun, wind, or rain, and heating/cooling. Other less obvious uses are protection from head impacts and, if re-configured, as a mask for the face (and eyes?) -- I'm thinking in sand (or snow) storms. Maybe I'm wrong and they're totally without practical use and always have been. It just seems that most clothing (with the exception of jewelry) has evolved from practical to signalling.174.130.71.156 (talk) 23:17, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
