Flag[edit]

Shouldn’t the Sikh confederacy flag be used or the Khalsa flag? CanadianSingh1469 (talk) 01:26, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@CanadianSingh1469 I believe the war flag at the time was the blue Nishan Sahib. I think a variety of different flags were used, perhaps there was no standardized one so I thought the simple blue Nishan was the safest choice. I wonder if there are sources out there that discuss the history of Sikh flags in-depth we could use. ThethPunjabi (talk) 19:45, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think the Sikh confederacy or the Khalsa flag would be a safer choice. Probably was no set standard for a flag like you said. CanadianSingh1469 (talk) 20:18, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
