Can an Indian cop keep a beard?

[peagle]

Sorry, it is in Urdu, but raises an important point.
Hindi speakers can understand as well.

 

[Chhatrapati]

Only Sikh officers can sport a beard, or you must have a medical reason. For religious reasons, you should seek prior permission and wait for it to be granted.

Not all Sikhs have beards, only the "Mazhbi"(religious) Sikhs do.
The same is with the Muslims, not all Muslims have beards, only the "Mazhbi" Muslims do.

Shouldn't there be one rule, one law for everyone, especially in a claimed secular country. In the video it is said that police officers do "Puja" (prayer) in the police station. This smells of double standards and discrimination against the Muslims.

SI Inteshar Ali's suspension has been revoked after he appears clean shaven before SP of Baghpat.

Sporting a beard and long hair is a change in one's uniform. If you're going to have a beard for religious reasons, you should seek prior permission. Nobody said you can't have a beard, the issue with the said officer is he didn't seek prior permission.

For Sikhs, it is an obligation to grow beard and hair and is mandated by the Sikh guru. For Muslims, it is not a fundamental obligation. Is it? Regardless, Muslims are allowed to have beard but should seek permission.

You just proved the point,

Blatant religious discrimination.

 

[Fawadqasim1]

double standard is norm for a de facto fascist theocratic state.

There are stringent service rules in uniformed services.
A Hindu cop can't put tilak on head and go on doing his duty.

Come on sir gg, this is UK, I have close friends of all religious background.

Sikhs are required, but not all do, it is a religious decision.
Same with Muslims, every religious Muslims aspires to keep a beard.

He says he did seek permission, why would it not be granted, because he is Muslim?

If Hindu officers can do puja and other religious practices, why cant Muslims be free to follow their religion?

That's fine, equally I would say it would be wrong to put on a white cap, and go on duty for Muslim officers, and they don't.

You can't keep making excuses, what's wrong is wrong. There has to be one rule for all.

Police in India cannot show any external symbol of religion. This is the rule since British times.

Sikh were granted exception by the British and that rule continued.

They are free to practice religion as a private affair, not as a public statement.

You have the answer to your own questions, Sikhs are required to have a beard and long hair as per their obligation and it is one of the fundamental to their beliefs.
It is not the same with Muslims, it's not an obligation. According to the officials he didn't seek permission, after he was found having a beard, he was asked to remove it and he applied for special permission. Two things.

A Muslim officer can do Namaz just like a Hindu officer doing puja, was it banned? You're drawing false equivalence here.

 

[Chakar The Great]

Imran Khan was right, India is the only country in the world where state sponsors Islamophobia.

This is despite the fact that India has massive Muslim population.

Are you telling me, you are still slaves of the British?
You have a new constitution and thousands of new laws.

You claim to be a secular, liberal republic, where everyone is treated equally,
don't pretend, don't make excuses, just treat everyone equally.
Including Muslims.

You seem to be reading selectively, did you not read, not all Sikhs have beards.

Did you not read that every religious Muslim aspires to have a beard, there are some schools of thought that consider it compulsory, or are you going to teach me my religion? The sheer arrogance.

Stop making excuses, stop the hate and treat your Muslims fairly, stop the discrimination.

Indian constitution is derived from the earlier Constitution of British India.

Certain practices continued because they were deeply established in social culture and psyche.

India is definitely not secular since the founders of the new constitution themselves decided to not add that word into the constitution.

The world secular was forcibly inserted by CONgress under Indira Gandhi when she declared "Emergency " and threw the entire opposition in Jail and removed the SC judges.

In any case your unsolicited advice is neither required, not appreciated. It has been throw into the dust bin where it deserves to be.

What kind of gobbledygook is this?????????????
Stop telling lies, or I'll tell your mummy.

If you do not know how to have a discussion/debate then do not get involved in one.

You need to grow up, before you get involved in grown up discussions.
