Here’s Why General Dalbir Suhag Wears The Strap Below His Lower Lip
There are many explanations to this, one being their short heights. As Gorkhas hail from mountainous terrains and due to their genetics, they are short as compared to soldiers that hail from other parts of India. This explains the short strap so as to make them seem equal as the cap for shorter soldiers do not fit to taller ones.The size of the Cap and strap is not altered for any soldier and is kept same as a Gorkha tradition. Hence, the strap below the lower lip.
