The Highest Battlefield in The World Where Death Rules




Battlefields and war are one of those few things which fascinate men. I am also one of those who go crazy when someone narrates about any war or battle. Couple of years back I was discussing about battlefields with my friends and I came to know that the highest battlefield is in India. The SIACHEN GLACIERS!


Siachen glacier is the result of the historic conflict between Pakistan and India which has made them to fight even on the most difficult terrain in the world. I am confident that none of the forces can think about fighting at such a height.

1.       The Terrain. Approximately 23000 feet above the sea level with temperature of minus fifty degree Celsius. Frozen snow all over removing all the possibility of life. Interestingly, Indians have occupied Siachen from past twenty eight years.


2.       Casualty.  More number of troops dies due to crevasses and cold than the bullets. At such a height, even sweat turns into ice and lack of oxygen add up to the difficulty to hold the ground. Artillery shells defy ballistics law and generally keep sailing for miles. Life of soldier is in the hands of the god.

3.       Cost of Siachen battle. Siachen has survived every battle between indo-pak. In past twenty eight years, more than four thousand soldiers are dead and twelve thousand injured. The battle of Siachen cost One million dollar every day.

4.       Negotiations. Both the countries are negotiating to pull back their forces from Siachen, but from military point of view, no one is going to do it. Siachen provides advantageous position to both the countries. For Pakistan it is gateway to India and for India it is the same.
Defending the nation

5.       Worth of Siachen. May be as a ground, Siachen is worthless but it has huge military importance which diplomats are unable to understand.

6.       World’s Highest Phone Booth. The world’s highest phone booth is installed in Siachen Glacier at a height of fifteen thousand feet. Indian army has dared to do unthinkable just to facilitates its soldier so that they can talk to their loved ones.

25 Facts about Battle of Longewala

I am ready to bet that these facts will surprise you and I am sure you were not aware about it.  1.        Major Kuldeep Singh Chandpuri was the company commander of one of the companies of 23 rd Battalion of Punjab regiment which took defences in Longewala. It was a detached company which implies that rest of the battalion had taken up defences far away from the location. 2.        The distance between Longewala and the 23 Punjab Battalion location by road was approximately 26 kms. This meant that in case Longewala was attacked then it would be difficult to reinforce the Longewala defences on time. 3.        Tactical commanders considered Longewala as less important location, and this was the reason to employ just one detached company. 4.        Pakistanis entered India from a place called Ghotaru which is 40 kms by road away fr...
