To commemorate the 122nd<\/sup>\u00a0year of the legendary Battle of Saragarhi, Latta Productions in association with Punjab Art Theatre has produced a unique Sight & Sound historical act \u2018Jang-E-Saragarhi.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staged in front of serving & retired officers and soldiers of 4 Sikh, now posted at Bathinda on Saragarhi Day \u2013 September 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harbux Latta said, \u201cIt was a befitting tribute as 4 Sikh is the erstwhile 36th<\/sup>\u00a0Sikh regiment , who\u2019s 21 brave-hearts had countered an onslaught of 10,000 Pashtuns and sacrificed their lives safeguarding a signal post \u2013 in Tirah region\u00a0of North-West Frontier Province,\u00a0\u00a0now in Pakistan, in the year 1897.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is noteworthy that the act is based on Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh\u2019s much-acclaimed book \u2018Saragarhi and the Defense of Samana Forts\u201d. It is also pertinent to state that \u2018Jang-E-Saragarhi\u2019, is a unique Sight & Sound Panorama which has been Produced & Directed by Harbux Singh Latta, who pioneered the technique of Sight & Sound shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Added Latta,\u201cExperienced theatre artists will depict the valour of soldiers of 36th Sikh Regiment, who under the command of  Havadar Ishar Singh and due to his motivational speech underlining the call of duty  – Naam, Namak & Nishan,  displayed unparalleled battle heroics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harshvir Singh Latta, Technical Director said, \u201cDigital sets of Saragarhi the signal post have been re-created and will be shown on 50 feet LED walls. Finding and booking the massive setup was another hurdle. Such a big and custom setup had not been attempted yet. A 60 ft truss for lighting along with 3000 square feet of stage was arranged from multiple vendors. Costume designing was another feat. After looking around in cloth markets of Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Patiala, we found the khaki cotton fabric for uniforms that resembled 100 years old dresses. And the most difficult part was making of Turban batches of Sikhs as no fabricator would make fewer pieces required.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bhupal Singh, Assistant Director, Jang-E-Saragarhi said, \u201cArmy drills were taught which took a lot of time but everyone mastered these. Months of rehearsals together created a family bonding between the cast which shows in performances and adds to the story and characters we are portraying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harshvir Singh Latta, Technical Director added, \u201cAfter rigorous research efforts of and several script drafts came the time to cast the 21 Sikh actors who would play the 21 braves of Saragarhi. We looked for physical fitness, a discipline in body language and quick learners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The property that was the most laborious to recreate were the 21 Henry Martini guns. Carving the butts out of wood based on photographs from the internet were not enough for the property designer to recreate an exact replica. Fortunately  the Qilla Mubarak Museum in Patiala had them on display. The property designer had a first-hand look. However, fabricating barrels and breech loading lever was a difficult task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summed up Harbux Singh Latta, \u201cThe selfless sacrifice of a soldier for his country does not have any comparison, it deserves the utmost respect. The bravery of these 21 soldiers of the 36th Sikh Regiment showed in the Battle of Saragarhi had to be documented and kept alive for future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
