In the Battle of Longewala, on which the famous Bollywood movie "Border" is based, there were actually only 2 casualties on Indian side. The battle of Longewala was fought in December 1971 between India and Pakistan, in which just 120 Indian soldiers with 1 Jeep mounted M40 recoilless rifle held the fort against 2000 Pakistani soldiers backed by 45 tanks and 1 mobile infantry brigade. Despite being so heavily out-numbered, the Indian soldiers held ground throughout the night and with the help of the Air Force, were able to completely rout the aggressors and many Pakistani soldiers ran away from the war field leaving behind 34 war tanks.
