  • Strategic Location: Longewala's strategic location near the Indo-Pak border made it a crucial point of contention during the war.
  • Use of Air Power: The Indian Air Force played a crucial role in supporting the ground troops, showcasing effective coordination between the air and ground forces.
  • Turning Point: The victory at Longewala boosted Indian morale and is considered a significant turning point in the 1971 war, contributing to India's eventual victory.
  • National Pride: The bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers at Longewala have become a source of immense national pride in India.

The Longewala War Memorial serves as a powerful reminder of this courageous battle and the sacrifices made for the nation.
