History
Established in 2015, the Jaisalmer War Museum commemorates the sacrifices and achievements of the Indian Army, particularly during the Indo-Pak wars of 1965 and 1971. The museum was conceptualized by Lieutenant General Bobby Mathews, AVSM, VSM. The location was chosen for its proximity to the battlefields where many of these conflicts occurred. The museum aims to showcase the valor and dedication of the soldiers who defended the nation's borders. It serves as a reminder of the courage displayed during times of war and promotes a sense of national pride and remembrance. Over time, the museum has become a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, offering a valuable insight into India's military history.
