Do you know the secret of the Gandhi cap?

Let's try to share some information about the mysteries of the Gandhi cap. This Gandhi cap was a conspiracy to remove the pride of Indians from their heads, a tradition of thousands of years of wearing a turban, and to make them slaves of the Nehru dynasty.

The triangular white cap made of khadi is called the Gandhi cap. It is believed that the invention of this cap was around 1920. Historians also believe that the original inventor of this cap was Jawaharlal Nehru, and the name Gandhi was given to it to increase its popularity, just as other members of the Nehru family used Gandhi's name in their surnames because Gandhi's name was more marketable at that time. Gandhi also wore this cap occasionally only as a symbolic gesture between 1920-21. As far as information goes, there are no photos of Gandhi wearing this cap after 1921.

But why did Nehru need it? According to contemporary historians, the reason for this was Nehru's sparse hair. Nehru used English hats to cover his head until then, but after becoming active in the freedom movement, he had to abandon the English hat because his contemporary Congress workers teased him about his hat. At that time, most Congress workers, following Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, used to wear turbans, but because the turban was considered a symbol of Hinduism and to create a secular image, "necessity is the mother of invention," Nehru invented this triangular cap, which later became famous as the Gandhi cap.

You may have noticed that while Gandhi was never seen wearing a cap after 1921, the Gandhi cap remained an integral part of Nehru's attire until his last days. Most Congress members were hesitant about Nehru's statements. Therefore, it was difficult for this new invention to become popular in Nehru's name. Therefore, by naming this cap the Gandhi cap, it was associated with the identity of the freedom fighters. Due to compulsion, Congressmen had to remove the turban of pride and wear this new cap, and thus the trend of wearing indigenous turbans in India ended.
