This is an impressive military display of pomp and pageantry that dates back nearly 270 years. Lall says it was an honor to take part in the ceremony marking Queen Elizabeth II's official birthday. "I have never been made to feel different or left out," Lall told The Telegraph. "My family say I should be proud for them and the whole NRI community." A defense press officer said he believes the first to wear a turban was in 2012. "It would not be a vast number between 2012 and 2018," the spokesman said.
