Legacy
To honour his memory and his contribution to India’s freedom movement, the Republic of India issued a commemorative stamp on 23 April 1966. Named after him, Government of Bihar established Veer Kunwar Singh University, Arrah in 1992.
The ICSE board has in its hindi text-book (Ekanki Suman) a play (by the name of Vijay Ki Vela, literally: Moment of Victory and Veer Kunwar Singh) on the later part of Veer Kunwar Singh's life, starting from the time he was crossing the river Ganges and finishing with his death, because of his injury. You may even see his name as a freedom fighter in the poem of 'Jhansi Ki Rani', written by Subhadra Kumari Chauhan.
"Is Swatantrata Mahayagna mein kayee veervar aaye kaam, Nana Ghunghupant, Tantya, Cchatur Azeemullah sarnam,
Ahmedshah Moulvi, Thakur Kunwar Singh, Sainik Abhiram, Bharat key itihaas gagan mein amar rahengey jinkey naam."
