[edit] Topis worn by working class?

Aren't the caps worn by Mumbai Dabbawallas and most farmers in Maratha heartland some form of Gandhi topi? If so, something to that effect must be added in the article. --Gurubrahma 13:17, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

yes, they are Gandhi caps. its very popular in Marathi villages, esp. around Nasik, where the origins of most of these dabbawallas lie. I've also come across schools around the area where the cap forms part of the school uniform too. Quork 22:09, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
