WASHINGTON: A New Jersey woman has been arrested on charges of bias intimidation and harassment after she tried to rip off a Sikh man's turban at a restaurant.

"I could feel a hand pulling this off," said 38-year-old Hansdip Singh Bindra, who was at the popular bar with a colleague just after midnight.

"Removing my turban in public is akin to giving me a strip search," he said.

Police said Carrie Covello, 37, grabbed the turban while standing behind Bindra at the bar. She then apparently asked him, "Why are you wearing that on your head?"

how do these stories even make the net? i'm sure there are lots of similar incidents that we don't hear about. This guy obviously involved the police so it became public record.

well  currer , 
clearly a case of discrimination 
also americans don't like  being  touched  unnecessarily ..so maybe tha'ts why it made it t the net

strange       youd think in NJ , Americanns are used to seeing Sardars with turbans 
..no to mention all the  sardar cab wallas   there 
my guess is she was trying to come on to him ..and he misunderstood  !

Maybe she doesn't shop at Kenneth Cole and lives under a rock!

Very clever find!

She could be just a naive, drunk and gifted with unsubtle approach.  A variety of people can be interested in head gear of a Sardar; idle curiosity, hostility towards ragheads, interest in religious practices and physical attraction could be blamed for the direct  approach. When in Rome, do(dress) as Romans do, may be one way to reduce the unwelcome attention of crazy people.  
  jaijui posted Re:Woman arrested for trying to rip Sikh on 8 mnths ago
wait     !!!       are you saying the woman should have dressed  up as a Sardar    ?    cause  NJ  resembles Rome  anyway .......the last i saw it that is .... heheh ......... naa that's asking too much  of her , isnt it ?

Sardars most likely have affairs or sex with a chosen few, and these babes would definitely be taking sardar's turban off may be as a preliminary move. so what this lady was attempting could be hitting on sardar or doing something she had done many times before. One should not hang around dim lit bars, people can mistake you for someone you are not and become unduly enthused. this is my humble 2 cent worth ... may be only 1 cent worth surmise of a seemingly unseemly situiation.....

I wonder if Sardarji misunderstood her intentions!  If that was her way of asking, "your pace or mine", just imagine how passionate she will be when they get together!

America is completely a land of immigrants
and she has to educate her citizens about the cutlural diversity.

After 9-11 the images of OBL are still fresh in public's mind.
  jaijui posted Re:Woman arrested for trying to rip Sikh on 8 mnths ago
how does one do that , LF
how does one erase preudice ?  its plentifully present in America ..
  gyanputra posted Re:Woman arrested for trying to rip Sikh on 8 mnths ago
Not much race based stuff but one should not be dressed as a bait and visit weird bars. Zapper or a gun is also good.
  jaijui posted Re:Woman arrested for trying to rip Sikh on 8 mnths ago
why is it that we Inidan always blame ourselves first ?

why cant we  blame the white guy ? ?

ive seen this again and again   ..is it  lack of secuirty . lack of confidence ?  or not willing to take a stand 
  Shuunya posted Re:Woman arrested for trying to rip Sikh on 8 mnths ago
she wanted to check if sardar ji had better hair than hers.

bhala tumhaari zulfe meri zulfo se reshami kaise.

>> bhala tumhaari zulfe meri zulfo se reshami kaise.

was that a Surf Ad ? ;-)

cool.

achcha   woh zulfowaali baat  !!! 

sardars are known to keep hatpins ,and other necessary items under their  turban ......for emergency use only
perhaps she was angling for one of those  
  Shuunya posted Re:Woman arrested for trying to rip Sikh on 8 mnths ago
ya hatpin se apne kaan saaf karne honge shayad.

by a zapper ofcourse. prejudice zapper, made in china, $9.95. batteries sold separately.
  jaijui posted Re:Woman arrested for trying to rip Sikh on 8 mnths ago
then   in that   case   does  the prejudice   ,,the just zapped   prejudice ....get transferred    from the zappee to the zapper    ?
and how many zaps does it take .?
Is it a permanent thing  or liable to come back  ?

in that case can we get our  money back for a full refund ?
even the batteries ?
gee thanks

man, this is worse than that time when my great uncle lungiwala langdaa tyagi visited a restaurant in boston only to get pissed at the waiter who tried to undo his lungi.
  jaijui posted Re:Woman arrested for trying to rip Sikh on 8 mnths ago
was the waiter trying  to see if he was faking the langda  act  underneath the lungi  ?   you think 
  baba kamdev posted Re:Woman arrested for trying to rip Sikh on 8 mnths ago
this story was told to me by my great uncle behra viththal when we were visiting lungiful madras. i asked him this question but since he was behra, he did not understand what i was asking.
  jaijui posted Re:Woman arrested for trying to rip Sikh on 8 mnths ago
then how did he hear the story in the ist place if he was so behra?
wasit in movie form
why is his name tyaagi ..did he really sacrifice his leg ..and also is that why he wore the lungi  over it in lungi city
 
i have many such good questions
  baba kamdev posted Re:Woman arrested for trying to rip Sikh on 8 mnths ago

he must have seen that news bit on doordarshan news for deaf people. rememeber those news? that lady used to 

1. show a sign of victory (for V)
2. act as if she is drinking water (for P)
3. and place her hands on her head as if she had horns (for singh)

all this to read out "VP singh" to the audience. she must have done something similar to read out the news about my great uncle lungiwala langdaa tyagi. 

as for your other questions, i need to talk to my great uncle lungiwala langdaa tyagi or my another great uncle gunga madhur vani.

  jaijui posted Re:Woman arrested for trying to rip Sikh on 8 mnths ago

 You mean  like   "dumb charades "      ?    haan  ab samajh mein aaya  ..magar who whispered in his ear  ?
must have been the madhur vaani walla  gunga 
incidentally was he...gunga ... a good singer ? i have heard that bade ghulaam ali had one such friend  gunga  ..he was of vvani caste   ..is that close enough  ?
pliz to confirm   and i will ask more questions as they come to this ecxcellent brain of mine
