  3. India’s religion’s, languages, music, food and customs differ from place to place within the country. It is the only country in the world to have so many religions and beliefs.

  5. Sikhs were the first community to start the freedom movement in India during Mughal and the British Empire. India had been under foreign rule for over 700 years. The first person to ever speak out for freedom was a Sihk.This was the beginning of the battle for freedom......It was the Sikhs who ended the long Mughal rule in India and established their own kingdom in northern India. This Sikh kingdom was annexed by the British in 1849. BhaiMaharaj Singh was the first Sikh to go to every village and city to preach for freedom and start a freedom movement against the British rule. He was exiled from the country & died in jail a couple of years later. In 1850, more than 50 Sikh regiments protested against the British rule and tried to start another war.....then in 1857 came the War of Independence when all of India fought British rule but it wasn’t until but 1947 that India was finally independent of Britian. .
