Sardars

Sardars are prominent leaders or titles within Sikhism, often referring to respected individuals who hold positions of spiritual or community authority. The term "Sardar" means "leader" or "commander" in Punjabi and is commonly used to address Sikh men with respect. Historically, Sardars played key roles in religious, social, and political aspects of Sikh communities, symbolizing qualities like bravery, leadership, and honor. While the term can refer to military leaders in historical contexts, today it mainly denotes respected community leaders or elders who serve as guides and representatives within Sikh society.
