    While the Sikh soldier deserves congratulation on his success, the weakness of United States administration is very clear. The Sikh soldier was given exemption from restriction on turban.

    A civilized and democratic government runs on the basis of 'equality before law' and 'uniformity of procedure'. It is pity that individual cases have to be cleared for exemption for wearing turban. The rules in army and in any government organization should be clear and uniform. There should be no exceptions. Either turban should be allowed to all Sikhs or nobody. This is gross breach of principle of rule of law and creates doubt on legitimacy of functioning of U.S. administration.

    I think in a multi-racial society such gestures are common and should be appreciated!
