Tie And Scarf Order Form: Fill & Download for Free

Yes, but…The RAF had a lot of ideas and doctrine during peacetime/the immediate runup to WW2, that were rapidly shown by hard experience in the early months of the war to be frankly bizarre and impractical.For example, one of their doctrines for attacking bombers was for sections of interceptor fighters to form an orderly queue behind the bomber and peel off one by one to make their attacks. You can see that in this RAF training manual on pg 2 - the ‘no.1 attack’. This didn’t take into account that the bombers might fight back, might be escorted, or might be carrying out evasive actions, all of which turned out to be ‘things that actually happen in real life’.Experience in France during the early stages of the war showed that most of this pre-war doctrine was irrelevant, that combat was fast and sudden with hard maneouvring, and that fighter pilots needed to have a swivel for a neck in order to avoid being jumped like sitting ducks.Which brings us to ties.Yes, in the early stages of the war, the pilots were expected to go up and fly in a collar and tie, as part of their uniform.What they found was that their practical real-life flying style (as opposed to the pre-war doctrine) involved the constant turning of their head - the swivel for a neck - which chafted their skin against the material of the shirt collar and was severely irritating. The legend is that they ended up ditching the uniform-regulation tie and ‘borrowing’ the silk scarfs of their girlfriends for flight operations, with officers in authority turning a blind eye to this breech of uniform regulations, at least for flying duties (shirt and tie was still de rigeur in the mess for post-combat drinks). They certainly ended up ditching the collar/tie combo rapidly, and replacing this with something more comfortable, usually silk. This of course added to the rakish, romantic image of the heroic flyers defending the plucky little island.Of course, this was all informal, and was ‘allowed’ at the whim and blind-eye-turning of Commanding Officers, who could, if they were Martinets or thought that discipline was required, throw the rule book at their pilots. I have read an account of one Commanding Officer enforcing rules about fraternisation between officers and men, by separating Sergeant-Pilots and Flying Officers at disperal, making both groups (who were happy to treat each other as simply ‘pilots’) massively unhappy, sitting on opposite sides of a room and unable to chat.However, pilots, being something of a ‘breed apart’, tended to take full advantage of the unique opportunity that they had to assert their individuality.Pierre Clostermann, who fought with the RAF and Free French air force, tells a story about being posted to a squadron, arriving in the middle of the day, and finding another new arrival pilot sitting in the mess wearing a jumble of odds and ends of uniform, and looking extremely scruffy. When the CO arrives, he rips into this other pilot and tells him he’s a disgrace and to sort himself out. Once the other pilot leaves, he explains to Clostermann that the other pilot is a highly-skilled and experienced veteran, but that he’s pushing at the boundaries, and needs to know that there are limits and discipline, otherwise he’ll fall apart.Clostermann himself was no stranger to this sort of behaviour. At one point during the war he buys hinself a pair of WW1 riding boots to wear with his uniform. Unfortunately, he almost immediately runs into General de Gaulle outside the Free French HQ in London, who is, to put it mildly, less than impressed with this breech of uniform regulations (to the high amusement of Clostermann’s friend off to the side).Clostermann gains a measure of payback when he and the same friend encounter another French General while his friend is wearing his flying scarf that he has decorated in a somewhat unorthadox manner (hand-drawn pictures of naked women), and receives a severe reprimand.So, yes, the RAF were technically expected to fly and fight in collar and tie, and actually did in the early months of the war.However, very early on, and then throughout the rest of the war, a blind eye was turned to ‘breeches’ of uniform regulations at least while on flying operations, and frequently outside of these, even if technically, they were still in force.

The word "hijab" is never used in the Qur'an in the context of women's dress. This word is used only in its general meaning of "barrier". Yet it has developed completely unique applications among the majority.Let's understand the word hijab first.The triliteral root is ḥā jīm bā (ح ج ب) =hinders/prevents/precludes/conceals/covers/protects/intervenes, hid, seclude, to veil/conceal/cover/hide a thing, intervene between two things.What the Qur’an says about Hijab?The word “Hijab” appears in the Quran seven times, five of them as “Hijab” and twice as “Hijaban”. See 7:46, 17:45, 19:17, 33:53, 38:32, 41:5, 42:51. None of these “Hijab” words are used in the Qur’an in reference to what the traditional Muslims call today as the dress code for the Muslim woman. Hijab in the Qur’an has nothing to do with the women’s dress code.In brief, 'hijab' is a traditional dress and has nothing to do with Islam. Mixing religion with tradition is a form of idol-worship since it implies setting up other sources of religious laws besides the law of God.What the Qur’an says about Khimar?The word “Khimar” and the dress code for women can be found in the Qur’an 24:31.24:31 And tell the believing women that they lower themselves from their insights, and guard their modesty. They should not show off their adornment beyond what may be decently and spontaneously apparent. Let them cover their chest area with a light covering.If we ponder on this verse it is clear God doesn't command women to cover the whole body. If God wanted the whole body of the woman to be covered, God would not have specified the chest to be covered, but would have issued a command for all the body to be covered. But since God specifies certain parts of the woman’s body to be covered, then there are other parts that do not have to be covered, as long as they are not beauty spots of a sexual connotation and as long as righteousness in dress is maintained.Does the Qur'an command the covering of hair for women ("Hijab")?24:31, God is telling the women to use their cover (Khimar, being a dress, a coat, a shawl, a shirt, a blouse, a tie, a scarf etc.) to cover their bosoms, not their heads or their hair. If God willed to order the women to cover their heads or their hair, He would have simply said, “Cover your head and hair.” God is neither vague nor forgetful! God does not run out of words.The last part of the verse 24:31 translates as, “They shall not strike their feet when they walk in order to shake and reveal certain details of their bodies. The details of the body can be revealed or not revealed by the dress you wear, not by your head cover. The word Zeenatahunna in this verse refers to the woman’s body parts (hidden beauty). At the end of the verse, God tells the women not to strike their feet to show their Zeenah. A woman does not need to strike her feet to show her ornaments but the way she strikes her feet while walking can reveal certain parts of the body.

In order to answer this question, I am going to speak from a perspective of the arrested and to understand the context, I am going to compare it with my arrest in UK vs my arrest in India.Both the times , I was arrested at the airport. In UK, I was arrested from a immigration detention cell and in India I was arrested right after my passport was checked just after I got off the plane.The actual arrest itself:-British police were very courteous, they woke me up ( I was asleep in the immigration cell).Before they arrested me, they gave me 5 mins to do any business (pee , etc). A lady officer searched me, and she put me in handcuffs in front, but spoke to me in a very polite way and in a way they made me want to co-operate with them, even if I was headed to jail. They told me of my rights, and that I was able to seek translation if I needed it. (I did not, but they were mindful of such factors). They even said that it was ok, and they really appreciated my co-operation. They put me back in a police van, it was caged but there was sufficient room and people from outside could not look into the van.ON the other hand,in IndiaI stepped out of the charter plane of Indian deportees, and then my passport was checked. As soon as it was done, I was pushed in to a line of women there. “Chup chap line me aao” , translation - Shut up and line up.. They started to examine each one of us, some of them were let ago but others were arrested and taken to police station. I was arrested, but there was a police lady who squeezed my shoulder really hard, and spoke to me very disrespectfully. She pushed me in the van, and tied (not with handcuffs, but with a rope) one of my hand to the van bars like other women. Anyone could see us from outside in our humiliation as we were litreally “behind bars”.Arrival at police stationUK- As we arrived in the police station, I was fingerprinted, searched and then taken for a medical examination. Everyone was professional and courteous, it went smoothly, given the situation I was stuck in.India:- This was terrible, we were literally thrown in a cell together. We were searched in front of others, fingerprinted and a nurse just ticked marked questions without asking us those medical questions. The only thing she asked was that if we were pregnant or suicidal. Everyone spoke rudely, shouted as if were scum.(Remember, at this point we were all under-trials, some were even bailed the next morning without charge)Police InterrogationUK- I had 2 female police officers present, they started recording and were very to the point. They did not threaten anything, but said the more I co-operate the more I help myself. I told them everything including the name of the woman I would meet to deliver the drugs at Slough. They even gave me a tea and I was escorted back to my police cell in less than 2 hours. There was also a lawyer present, who did not charge any fees.India:- This was literally the second worst thing I faced throughout my legal problems (first being my convict life in Tihar). The police lady constable came, then put me in this chair and left me there for maybe 4 hours. I wanted to pee, and when I requested this to them, they only said when the madam comes . A female inspector came, I asked her if I could to which she said ok. From here, things go very bad- as soon as I come back from the toilet, she said “jaldi yeh sign kar, naam baata aur jaa andhar”. meaning sign the letter, tell the names of those involved in this crime and then go to jail. THe confession was something I rejected completely, I gave the names but the confession said I was the mastermind and I would make 10 times more money on that deal than I really was going to make. She even said jaada argue karigi teen chaar aur cases laagake dus pandra saal ke liye andhar daal dungi, in other words, If I do not agree I would be charged with 3 or 4 more offfences (Once was international tafficking ring master) and then jailed for 10 15 years. When i further resisted, I was asked to to do “uthak baithak”, cross your hands and jump up and down (a form of school punishment in India) or face the “lathi” (Baton). I did the uthak baithak and then eventually agreed to sign it if they changed a couple of words. This took the entire day. I was taken to the room around 8 am, I only came out at around 7 pm.Overnight in police custodyUK:- pretty standard, a bed, an attached toilet, a blanket and a book given. It was pretty I wouldnt say good but would not say terrible either. I was there against my will, but my person was respected. Next morning, I was woken up by breakfast and as soon as I finished breakfast, I was given a toiletary set like toothbrush to freshen up.There was even a time for showering and soap came with the setIndia:- Oh God, this is where I saw the first sign of corruption. There was a lady who gave 60000 rupees to sleep in her own personal cell. Meanwhile, I had to sleep in this hot hell with 15 other women in a small cell. Somehow, I used my scarf to cover my eyes and sleep (drenched in sweat), next monring around 4 am , they wake us up for a quick toilet break, then back into cells to await transport to prison. Nothing was given to us, no toothbrush , no soap, no shower. It was bad.Transfer to prisonUK:- This was pretty standard, the same way I was transported from Airport to the station, was the same way I was transported to prison. I was handcuffed but also treated with respect.India:- This was terrible, woken up at 8 am, then dragged to a van and thrown back into it. This time they did handcuff us on the prison van. I had to litreally cover my face like burkha with my scarf so people wouldnt see my face.
