Guys, first of all it is a video game. Assassins Creed games tend to be set in a historical background, but A LOT of liberties are taken. It's just the setting and time period and some events are historically accurate, the rest is made up stuff.

I am certain they will not say anything against our Gurus or attack the religion itself, but don't be surprised nor angry if the Sikh forces are your enemy in this game, as I feel it would be. I have a feeling the assassins job is to steal the Koh I noor from the Sikhs for the British. Also, the assassin hates Sikh forces due to them killing his parents in Kashmir.

So, long story short, please be open minded. Nothing wrong if Sikhs are your enemies. We're not some special kind of people that need protection or need be insulated.

Also, another new game will be having a major Sikh character. Game name is state of Decay : Year one edition. Character name is Gurubani Kaur, and her special weapon is a Talwaar and Khanda.

Sat naaam.

If there is anything against the Sikhs in the game I can guarantee you now there will be a huge uproar you will just need to read up on the hit man game and see what happened. Sikhs are very sensitive about Sikh history if anyone try's to convey Sikhs as the bad guys or makes a game that encourages non-sikhs to racially./religious hate on Sikhs then you can guarantee there will be trouble ahead for the developers of the game.

I don't know man, but this kind of thinking gets you nowhere.

Like I said above, Assassin's Creed games are set during certain historical times (the latest was set during the French revolution era), but what happens within the game itself is largely fictional.

I would be ashamed to call myself a Sikh if my fellow brethren take offence/issue against this game if it happens to portray the Sikh Empire or Sikhs in a negative light.

PS: I've played like a million games, so I would know better than anyone else that all kinds of people are portrayed negatively in games all the time - Russians, Muslims, Vietnamese, Japanese - and really, it's just a game. Don't think you're so special that Sikhs cannot be the "bad people" in games, cause I can bet you there are good Sikhs in games as well.

I dont think you know Sikhs very well. You can be ashmed all you like but vast majority of Sikhs are very sensetive to the issue of Sikh history any distortion or negative portrayals where Sikhs are seen as legtimate targettings for hate crimes then you will see a uproar.

Problem with your argument is that those ethnicities and nationalists have their own nation states they have governments that can speak up on behalf of their people. The Sikhs do not have any government or nation that is willing to defend Sikhs and we have seen numerous genocides and state terrorism against our people for wanting freedom and our human rights to self rule.

And also imagine a game where its fair gain to attack homosexuals or women you would see a media outrage against such a game cos lets face it most feminists and homosexuals work in the media now so they have editorial control. Sikhs are a victimised minority community often confused with muslims since 9/11 by ignorant racist westerners so any negative portrayal can do huge damage.

If you are a Sikh you will understand this, if your not a Sikh and posing as one for time being then you will not understand.

How about a game where Jews are attacked, it wouldn't be allowed.

"Sikhs are a victimised minority community often confused with muslims since 9/11 by ignorant racist westerners so any negative portrayal can do huge damage".

Dunno, most westerners I know know the difference, if this was, as you say, the case then why so many Sikhs want to move to the West?

Answer me this one.

Cool water, I am a Sikh. It pains me to know your intellect is so low you even question whether I am a Sikh or not.

The reason I ended up on this forum was cause I searched "assassins creed chronicles Sikh empire", and I thought it would be an interesting topic to discuss about.

Now, I come from a country called Malaysia. We have so many cases of Muslims being offended by this and that, seeking preferential treatment. As such, you can see within this context, I have come to dislike people who take their religion too personally. I dislike the mentality of Indian Sikhs as a result cause they truly do behave like the Muslims I find in my country.

Mind you, I have taken Amrit, and tie a dastardly proudly. But I don't take personal offence when someone says something bad about my religion.

Similarly, with games, I have a very open mind. If it means that for every game or movie that portrays Sikhs in a positive light there is to be one movie or game that portrays them negatively, then I'd be pretty happy. The issue only happens if Sikhs are continually portrayed in a negative light, and so far I have seen no such evidence.

Also, have you been on Reddit? There have been a few trending photos of turbaned Sikhs, and I was pleasant to find that the comments were made in positive light. Of course, there was the odd "bomb" comment about Muslims, but idiots exist everywhere. Awareness abut Sikhs in the western sphere is at an all time high.

Games make fun of the pope many times, as do movies. Games make fun of Christians. But I don't see anyone threatening the developers.

Please just have an open mind, is all I can say.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
