In the face of Dutch colonialist forces, I Gusti Ngurah Rai exemplified extraordinary leadership and unwavering patriotism. He rejected offers of surrender and chose to fight to maintain the security and independence of Bali. His firmness in the face of adversity, his willingness to sacrifice, and his courageous leadership serve as a powerful example for future generations of Indonesian Armed Forces. The Battle of Puputan in Margarana stands as a testament to his dedication and commitment to the cause of freedom.
