The battle�was commemorated by the British at the time, with memorials built to it in�Amritsar and Ferozepur and a battle honour awarded to the 36th Sikh regiment�that fought (now the 4 Sikh regiment in the Indian Army).
The UK-based�production secured grassroots support through a social media fundraising drive and�is being developed by the �Saragarhi Society� in partnership with broadcaster �KTV��and digital arts producers �Taran 3D�.
Writer and�filmmaker Capt. Jay Singh-Sohal has been working on the film for the past 6 years,�and has also written a book about it.
