It's so hot in India, why do you have to wear a headscarf? What are the mysterious reasons behind it?

I believe many people will doubt that Indians wear headscarves, so why do Indians wear headscarves?

In the desert state of Rajasthan, headscarves can protect local people from summer and sandstorms. The harsh geographical and climatic conditions, coupled with thousands of years of contact between different tribes and Muslims in this state, have formed a complex headscarf culture. The headdress in Rajasthan is usually a strip of cloth 25 meters long and 20 centimeters wide, which is worn in various ways and has different meanings. In terms of size, the bigger the headscarf, the higher the status of the wearer; From the color point of view, bright colors such as pink, red and green are important occasions for weddings and celebrations; In terms of texture, cotton, hemp, silk, etc. It should be based on the overall collocation of clothing. In addition, people of different classes, castes and occupations have hidden rules about which headscarf to wear. Generally speaking, headscarves with many colors, unique designs and large shapes are exclusive to senior people, and vice versa. According to rough statistics, there are more than 1000 kinds of headscarves in Rajasthan, with different textures and different winding methods. Generally, people will simply wear it at home or on informal occasions, and it will be "the most important thing" in a few minutes.

Another reason for wearing a headscarf is because of religious belief. People of different religions wear different headscarves. For men, only Sikhs generally need headscarves. Sikhs need hair and beard, and haircuts are not allowed, so even men should have long hair. Male Sikhs need headscarves to wrap their long hair before they can move. The turban wrapping method of Sikh religion is very different from that of Islam, but it is still not easy to distinguish between the two religions for those who are not familiar with them.

There are also hard and fast rules. For example, Sikhs must wear headscarves, which are said to be driven by Muslim headscarves. In many parts of India, the head is considered to be too expensive to touch easily, especially for children. If they touch it, they may encounter hostility, so they wear headscarves to protect their heads.

In fact, Indians like to wear headscarves, while British and French like to wear hats, but the custom of wearing headscarves is stronger.
