Kaiser-e-Hind is a monument in the Indian state of Punjab. In 1971, a heavy artillery campaign on part of the Pakistan Army ensured the only victory for the entire Pakistani forces during the 1971 India-Pakistan War.

Four artillery regiments under the general directives of the Lahore Corps (IV Corps Punjab) took part in the campaign - aided by two infantry battalions.

The campaign started on 4 December 1971 and ended successfully upon the capture of the area by 35 Heavy Artillery Regiment (Pakistan) at a considerable loss of civilian lives on the Indian side.
