More recognised than its Punjab Police inspiration http://theKLS.substack.com When the Sikh Empire was felled in 1849 by the British and the Punjab finally subdued, the colonists subsequently deployed in their administrative, law enforcement, police and army units the indefatigable and valiant Sikhs who they recognised as deeply committed to their faith principles – especially to the retaining of their turbans and uncut beards – so they let them keep them - but as a sign of their subjugation, mandated the tying of their beards and shortening and redefining their traditionally imposing dastaars. That gave way in 1861 to the formation of the Punjab Police whose turbans were redesigned as the neatly folded one (with the hanging fringe jhaalar). The British then went on to further colonise other lands and territories as part of amassing their Empire, capturing East Africa and establishing it as their British East Africa Protectorate in 1895, which is when they brought with them from Punjab hundreds of Sikh Police recruits to man their colonial interests. Sardar Kapur Singh is recorded as the first non-European policeman in what is now Kenya, and who headed those pioneer units. Their Punjab Police turbans came to also define the Sikh Police in East Africa - and though their recruitments dwindled and died out in the years following independence of Kenya Colony in 1963, the turban style had by then long become established as the very identity of the everyday Kalasingha - what the Sikhs of Kenya are uniquely called by their fellow African countrymen. The Kenyan turban is now the identity of even the British Sikhs who descended from East Africa when they remigrated from Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika from the early 1950s to date. When Inspector Harbans Singh Jabbal left Kenya, he not only maintained his Kalasingha identity but also his police job – becoming the first Sikh in England’s history to wear a turban - the Kenyan one – rooted in his East African heritage.
