Intangible heritages are important aspects of our society. We grew and the coming generation is
growing by listening to these stories of our brave ancestors who fought together against the
mighty British. These stories are part of our intangible heritage which are slowly disappearing.
Thus it is important to document and protect these intangible heritages so that they can be traced
back.
