Thereīs indian infantry in Raiders?!?

AFAIK, the turban would be various shades of gray, from darker ones to light stone khakis...

I'm afraid to go there, but according to me there weren't any Indian soldiers or Indians of any kind in raiders.

I think you're confusing the movie with the Temple of Doom. Where at the last scene you have a Sikh infantry squad firing at the 'evil' Indian thuggee cultists.

I've got a few hardcopy print-outs of the script and after browsing through it I can't find any mention of Indian Muslim infantry.

Checking a couple of my books though I found a reference where is stated that the Muslim Infantry either wore khaki or yellow as the colour of their headdress. So the most historical Muslim Infantry colours would be yellow or khaki. Other then the Sikh colours of red and khaki.

Khaki uniforms and turbans. Sikhs had blue turbans in the 1890's but after WWI just about everything was khaki.

Aye, going khaki would be the best bet. Found the stuff on the Sikh blue turbans, but nothing on the Muslim turbans.
