Thats insane, they're comparing this to Thermopylae

Thermopylae (thərmŏp'ĭlē) [Gr.,=hot gates, from hot mineral springs nearby], pass, E central Greece, SE of Lamía, between the cliffs of Mt. Oeta and the Malic Gulf. Silt accumulation has gradually widened the pass. In ancient times it was used as an entrance into Greece from the north. There in 480 B.C., Leonidas with his Spartans and their allies lost a heroic battle to the Persians under Xerxes (see Persian Wars). At the pass in 279 B.C., the Greeks held back the Gauls under Brennus, who ultimately broke through, and, in 191 B.C., Antiochus III of Syria was defeated there by the Romans.

Even though it has been accepted by UNESCO as one of the bravery stories, It is still not taught in schools in India. You will hardly find a history book mentioning battle of saragari, but will tumble over libraries filled with gandhi's yatras.

This battle is not even taught in British schools let never mind India. Even when I was learning about British empire in history lessons they didnt even cover the "British Raj" of the Indian subcontinent.

But we can do our bit by publishing what Sikhs did for these nations. We all have the tools in this new age of technology to make short documentaries and other media to inform people on popular websites such as youtube.com.
