Sarbloh Warriors

Sarbloh Warriors

Sarbloh Warriors is a computer game developed by Taranjit Singh, a Birmingham-based Sikh video game creator, slated to be released in september 2008 as PC freeware. It is touted as the first game mod with the theme of Sikhism. Set during the 18th century, the game explores how the nascent Sikh community was suffering under Mughal imperial rule and religious intolerance, and how the Sikhs rebelled against the Mughal empire to secure a future for their faith.

It is a 3D first person action-adventure game, featuring a variety of characters, custom-designed levels, authentic Indian and Persian architecture, with period weaponry, costumes and armour.

In 2006, Singh complained that the game was unfairly stereotyped by the BBC as being anti-Muslim, stating that it was meant to educate the youth on the complicated history of Sikh-Muslim tension.
