In 2023 the Sikh community is celebrating the achievements of the Leaders of the 18th Century who helped Sikhs to both survive and protect the land of Panjab, India from invading forces. There is a strong Sikh population in Derby and it is planning to commemorate that period of time and specifically one leader, Maharaja Jassa Singh Ramgarhia. They wish to erect both a monument and a statue in honour of the brave Sikhs of that period. 2023 also coincides with the 300th birth celebrations of Maharaja Jassa Singh Ramgarhia and hence the occasion is a once-in-a-lifetime event with unparalleled significance.
