Revision history [back]

This about intent. If a child, out of their innocence and curiosity asked to touch your dastaar or see how you tie it. Wouldn't you crouch down and let the child see? Invading personal space without asking permission is offensive, and it's not just about dastaar. If an adult reached out to do this without permission, you would back off, right? Simply communicating and saying something like, "my turban is sacred to me" would give that person some context for your backing away. Tune in to the person's intent and respond to that consciously. It may be an opportunity for learning and connection. That's why hard and fast rules don't always work. Responding consciously in the moment will always bring the best result.
