I believe they\'re Punjabi
The men of many Islamic cultures have worn or wear turbans. They are called imamah (Arabic: عمامة), dastār (Persian: دستار), sāfā (Hindustani: साफ़ा سافا), and many other words in local languages
Turbans are worn by Muslim scholars (ulema) in many countries.
In some countries, wearing a black turban is a claim to status as a sayyid, or descendant of Muhammad.
Black turbans were imposed by the controversial Taliban regime in Afghanistan. [1]
In Sudan, large white turbans are worn; they generally connote high social status.
In modern Persian Gulf countries, the turban has been replaced by the plain or checkered scarf (called keffiyeh, ghutrah or shumagh), though the turban tradition is still strong in Oman (see Sultan Qaboos of Oman).
