Sikh warriors

Sikh warriors, known as "Sardars," emerged in the 17th and 18th centuries, primarily as defenders of the Sikh community in Punjab, India. They played a crucial role in resisting Mughal oppression and later British colonial rule. Following the teachings of Guru Nanak and subsequent Gurus, they emphasized courage, equality, and justice. The most notable Sikh warrior group was the Khalsa, established by Guru Gobind Singh in 1699, who vowed to protect the weak and uphold righteousness. Sikh warriors are celebrated for their bravery, martial skills, and commitment to community welfare, embodying the values of their faith.
