A dastār (Punjabi: ਦਸਤਾਰ, from Persian: دستار‎) which literally means 'dast-e-yaar' or the hand of God, is an item of headwear associated with Sikhism and is an important part of the Sikh culture. Among the Sikhs, the dastaar is an article of faith that represents honour, self-respect, courage, spirituality, and piety. The Khalsa Sikh men and women, who keep the Five Ks, wear the turban to cover their long, uncut hair (kesh). The Sikhs regard the dastaar as an important part of the unique Sikh identity. Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism was born into a Hindu family. However, Nanak did not believe in the Hindu practices of the time and sought to re-teach the original teachings of Hinduism according to the Vedas, which believes in one omnipresent and omnipotent creator Ekongkar and the universal brotherhood of man. He emphasized a philosophy of love for spiritual existence juxtaposed with ordinary living, laying emphasis on 'earning a livelihood by the sweat of your brow'. The ninth Sikh Guru, Tegh Bahadur, was martyred by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, for standing against the forcible conversion of Kashmiri Hindus to Islam. Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru created the Khalsa in order to protect the weak and downtrodden and gave five articles of faith, one of which is unshorn hair and the Dastar helps keep it tidy.
