Battle of Longewala

This battle has been registered in Golden Words in History as it was one of the first major engagements in the western sector during the Indo - Pakistani War of 1971 and was fought between Pakistan and India at the Indian border post of Longewala, in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan.

Who won the battle of Longewala?

The battle of Longewala was won by the Indian Army. A company of the Indian Army's 23rd Battalion, Punjab Regiment, commanded by Major Kuldip Singh Chandpuri, was left with the choice of either attempting to hold out until reinforced, or fleeing on foot from a Pakistani mechanised infantry force. Choosing the former, Chandpuri ensured that all his assets were correctly deployed and made the best use of his strong defensive position, as well as weakness created by errors in enemy tactics. He was also fortunate that an Indian Air Force forward air controller was able to secure and direct aircraft in support of the post's defence until reinforcements arrived six hours later.
