Sikhs can now join the US Army without removing their turbans

A Sikh college student will be able to join the US Army, without being forced to cut his hair, shave his beard or stop wearing his turban thanks to a Washington court ruling. The Army last year rejected Singh's request to enrol in the ROTC programme, saying the student had to comply with the service's grooming and uniform policies before they would consider his request, according to the judge's ruling.
