particularly popular in regions where the heat and humidity create an
unpleasant climate for trousers. In April 2013, the Baridhara Housing

entry to those who wore them. However, many opposed the ban,
taking to social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter to criticise

• DuringWorld War II, the silhouetted image of X the warrior, mounted on

parachute troops in 1941 as their upper sleeve insignia. The image clearly
symbolized a warrior arriving at a battle by air, the same tactics used
by paratroopers. The square upper-sleeve insignia comprised X/Y in light
blue on a maroon background. The insignia was designed by famous
English novelist Daphne du Maurier, who was married to the commander
of the 1st Airborne Division (and later the expanded British Airborne
Forces), General Frederick "Boy" Browning.

Edward Seago in May 1942. The maroon background on the insignia was

nickname for British airborne troops, The Red Devils. Today's Parachute
Regiment carries on the maroon beret tradition.
