Recently some trouble have been taking place in France. The French government had said in 2004 that Sikh students could not wear turbans to schools as turbans were religious symbols, these law also apply for the Muslim headscarve (worn by girls). And so, large-scale protests among the Sikh community started, which argues that wearing a turban is not just a religious symbol but a part of Sikh identity. But the protests have had little impact on France which has steadfastly refused change in its policy.
I've learnt about all these happenings through http://www.sikhnet.com/ and while browsing through it's news i found a really exciting presentation about the relationship between sikhs in WWI and WWII with the french people. This presentation slides were obtained from http://unitedsikhs.org/.
so just watch it, and I hope you enjoy. (Click the link below)
