tribals aren't satisfied with this work as this incident is gradually being forgotten and has been left out of history books. In popular culture Amko Simko Po'dāte is a tribal folk song in Khadia language which describes the massacre in a song.

The Odisha District Gazetteers mention the Amko Simko firing as an "agrarian agitation which was later eulogized by the Congress leaders as examples of bravery and valiant resistance by the tribals to the oppressive British Raj in order to inspire them to join the freedom movement". Due to inconsistent documentation, varying data has been retrieved from sources on the same incident. Some sources mention the political agent's name with different spellings such as E. W. M. Morger. The number of casualties is also unclear as some reports mention the body-count as 28, some mention it as high as 300.
