Mudy,
It is not correct that Sikhs became renowned as a fighting force due to Brits. It is true that when Sikhism arose it was largely a peaceful religious sect. But when Gurus were killed and the persecution of Hindus and Sikhs became the norm at the hands of muslims the Gurus of Sikhs decided to make Sikhs into a fighting force. For this reason the ballads of bravery were sung at Akal Takth to inspire the followers of Sikh Panth. These ballads were of rajput warriors from Rajasthan and UP/MP.
Banda Bhadur organized a sikh force and was the first sikh sovereign of Punjab. Though his rule was short but it was glorious and he jolted the mughals at its roots.
Then when Maharaja Ranjit Singh became the king of Punjab, his sikh troops became a terror in the heart of afghans. And do note that muslims in Kashmir do not eat beef till today just because of sikhs.
