Of the sepoy battalions which faced the Maratha line, the only surviving battalion is the 1st Battalion, the Punjab Regiment of the Pakistan Army, the erstwhile 1st/1st Madras Infantry [1]. In the Indian Army only the Madras Sappers have this unique battle honour now but it counts as repugnant. The Royal Highland Fusiliers were formed in 1971 an amalgamation of The Royal Scots Fusiliers and the HLI, are the descendant of the 74th (Highland) Regiment of Foot who first became The Highland Light Infantry in 1881, are the only British infantry regiment to still carry the battle honour.
