The Sikhs might be a minority community in terms of their number, but when it comes to giving humanity lessons to the world, it is one of the few communities which enjoy massive respect in every part of the world. 

From Canada to even Australia, they have made homes in every corner of the world and done their bit for the country. Not many are aware of the fact that the Sikhs came to Australia more than 200 years ago and contributed a lot in terms of fighting in the army, being in the armed forces and even gaining fame as wrestlers. The country inaugurated the 'Australian Sikh Heritage Trail' to honour the contribution of this beautiful community.

A highlight of my visit to WA this week: inspecting works on the new Sikh Heritage Trail in Riverton with Ben Morton and members of the WA's  Sikh community. A series of informative plaques here set out the strong contribution of Sikh people in Australia dating back 150 years. pic.twitter.com/E32M1exJEd

An open air Sikh museum has been officially inaugurated at Perth's Adenia Park. Known as the Australian Sikh Heritage Trail, it pays tribute to the Sikh pioneers of this country, who made significant contributions... https://t.co/YzU0qlKzfI

The trail showcases and preserves the Australian Sikh history and heritage. It is in Perth and the place holds a lot of emotional significance because when the Sikhs arrived, cremation was not legal and the community was allowed and given a small land for the same, after a lot of struggle with the government.

The Australian Sikh Heritage Association was established in 2012 to protect and share the history of the community.

It is a beautiful gesture and a great way of celebrating cultural heritage.
