Unfortunately theres a long lost of things we weren't taught in school in England. One of the biggest omissions in my view is Irish history, which is still so relevant to this day. On one hand you can't teach everything but on the other hand, there has to be room for this stuff.

Indians even fought in the western front in WW1, contrary to almost every documentary or film out there! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Army_during_World_War_I
