The user had tagged me on this thread already.
But I wasn't sure how to respond. India-Pakistan tensions you know.

Very nice Shimshali, I had questions but you answered them all before I got to the thread.

The shape and colour of that Khoi are close to the winter bérêt of our alpine troops :

Ours is a lot bigger though, to protect against sun and wind and snow.
And another of our military caps, the shako wears a ghamburi that we
call a casoar, which is French for cassowary.

Thanks a lot mate, great thread, Tay.

I was just thinking about one thing with regards to the cap day. Instead of having it in Sept we should have it in Dec or Jan. That way the rest of the country can wear it too, sort of a renewal of the pledge to GB every year. Imagine it. What a beautiful day it would be.

Obviously. You did a brilliant job.

Admit it! You just can't carry it. I wear it with everything and look mighty fine.

Pakistan's original cultural identity is mainly Central Asian. There is a Middle Eastern element as well.
We have little in common with the subcontinent.
Genetically and from a linguistic point of view we have far more in common with Afghanistan, Iran and Turkey.
The vocabulary of our common language has a large number of Persian, and Turkish words.

We do have some residual links with India and Hindu culture but these are fast disappearing.
A new cultural policy is needed to dump the legacy culture.
