Man Has Tuban Ripped Off By Thug, Yet Is Ostracized By His Community - Why?
20 Answers
http://
quite aside from the disgusting behaviour of the pratt that did this, why would a whole community ostracize someone who has been the victim of the actions of another and it was out of his control?
now i know 'why' hes upset etc - they are not allowed to remove it in public etc - but why would they turn on him, knowing he didnt do it?
its not like he just took it off himself.
why would they not come out in support of him, comfort him, help him, why blame him?
this man is suffering - not because his turban was forcibly removed, but because of his so-called friends, neighbours and supposed kinsmen, because they have decided that the viewing of his hair is more important than the happiness and life of one of their own.
another example of the ridiculousness and abhorrent nature of religion.

//the claim that the public exposure for his hair is equivalent to being executed by public hanging is simply absurd. //
Birdie's right. It is absurd. The idiot who pulled the turban off is a complete and utter prat - but I don't believe for a moment that the victim was ostracised by his community because of it. Wearing a turban isn’t absolutely obligatory for Sikhs.

The Mail and the mirror both have this and both use the word 'ostracise' if you read it carefully the Mail is attributing this word to the judge.
The quote was
'After this I was not able to face my colleagues.'
My suspicion here is that the judge used this term incorrectly and the press picked up on it.
I imagine the judge was trying to convey the impact on the victim's life but was trying to avoid the word 'shamed'.
I very much doubt the man's colleagues would have been anything other than sympathetic but his sense of humilliation meant a sort of self-ostracisation
