There is nothing new there. You have written about Pratibha Patil not attending the funeral. She is from Congress and congress only attend Italian Funerals not INDIAN. She does not know the code of conduct and has proved it earlier, so dont expect anything from her.
THIS ARTICLE BY MR. KRISHNA PRASAD SHOULD BE AN EYE OPENER TO THE GREEDY AND SELFISH POLITICIANS AND A PATRIOTIC MESSAGE TO ALL CITIZENS OF INDIA TO PAY CONDOLENCES TO THIS GREAT SON OF INDIA - MORE THAN A BHARAT RATHNA! IN THE EYES OF THE INDIAN PUBLIC IF NOT TO THE POLITICAL PARTIES LET IT BE CONGRESS , COMMUNIST OR BJP. FOR CONGRESS PSEUDO SECULARISM ZINDABAD(AFZAL GURU JAI HO), FOR COMMUNISTS ESPECIALLY MARXISTS MAO AND LENIN ZINDABAD AND FOR BJP (ADVANI TYPE) PRIME MINISTERSHIP ZINDABAD JUST BY CHANTING RAM MANDIR AT AYODHYA WHENEVER ELECTIONS ARE THERE. WHERE IS RECOGNITION FOR PATRIOTISM? ESPECIALLY A PATRIOT NEED NO RECOGNITION FROM A NON-PATRIOT SORT OF POLITICIANS. PUBLIC CONDOLENSES ARE ENOUGH.
a rarity among finest gentlemen with integrity,valour,courteous mannerisms a classy sophistication of good family upbringing/education,amazing good looks and personality.simple leveing & high thinking! prime minister was the first person to give his condolences,others are even yet to???
THIS COUNTRY AND ITS ELITE PEOPLE DO NOT DESERVE THE INDIAN ARMED FORCES. THE AMBANIS ARE THE JOKE OF THE NATION HA HA! BUSY BODY BROTHERS BARKING LIKE CATS & DOGS AMITABH BACHHAN,BIG `B BUSY WITH MARRITAL LIFE REFLECTION OF FAMILY OR WAR WITH SHAHRUKH KHAN WHO HAS NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN GAIN VALOUR IN HIS NAME? BAL THACKERAY `A DOG WHO ONLY KNOWS HOW TO BARK AND NOT BITE - A laughing matter for ISRAELIS WHO HAVE MADE IN HIS HINDUSTAN - HIMACHAL PRADESH AS THEIR HOMELAND? MAOSISTS/NAXALITES WHO R FIRST& FOREMOST BROWN SKINNED INDIANS OF INDIGENOUS AREA OF HINDUSTAN BUSY KILLING THEIR OWN SECURITY FORCES,

Brilliant post.. I wish people like Anand Krish, Shobha De, Teesta setalvad die like dogs (and bi~ches) at the hands of naxalites/islamic terrorists.
ITS BEEN SO VERY SAD, THAT NON OF OUR TOP SO CALLED LEADERS FIND TIME TO BE PRESENT FOR THE FUNERAL.CAN SOMEONE REALLY ANSWER THIS, I KNOW NOBODY WOULD BE,WHAT WOULD BE THE FUTURE OF THOSE ARMED FORCES WHO SACRAFIC FOR THE NATION, I AM SURE OUR DEFENCE FORCES PERSONEL WOULD REALLY FEEL LET KNOW AND THE MORAL CAN GO DOWN DRASTICALLY. AFTER THE 1971 VICTORY, I STILL REMEMBER THAT HONORABLE SIR SAM MANEKSHAW HAS WRITTEN A BOOK, WHICH THAT TIME HE DID MENTIONED IT WOULD BE RELEASED ONCE HE IS NO MORE, THE BOOK HE MENTIONED WOULD BE RELEASED BY HIS DAUGHTER, I AM SURE THERE ARE A LOT OF HIDDLE METERIAL WHICH HE WOULD HAVE WRITTEN AND WHICH CAN INTEREST THE PEOPLE OF INDIA. I REQUEST HER DAUGHTER IF RELEASE THE BOOK AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE TO ENABLE ADMIRERS LIKE US TO KNOW WHAT HE HAD SAID IN HIS BOOK. FINALLY I SALUTE HIM AND PRAY TO GOD MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE.
Even when a useless politian dies who has does nothing worthwile for the country get cremeted on a pyre of sandalwood and three day state mourning is declare . But when a hero of nation , a national Pride , a patriotic soldiers dies .. these so called leaders of nation dont even time for paying last respects... shame u blo.ody politians
We as a nation are thankless. Mrs. Gandhi can give herself a Bharat Ratna she can even manage to pull dignitaries because of her father's power and her son's power to be. Sam's father was a doctor in Amritsar and her daughters are not in the politics. Making him Field Marshal with no important status was in itself a incivility on the part of the polotical class. They are famous for being in civil. But the defense forces showed such attitude is something surprising and unbecoming of what they are. At the height of Kargil War few top officers of the Army were busy inaugurating a Golf Course. Where as Field marshal Sam Manekshaw was visiting Army hospitals encouraging wounded soldiers and consoling the families who have lost their bread earner in the war even Field Marshal K.M. Carriapa was standing for registering himself into the Army during 1962 China War, he was well past his retirement. Then why our present generations of defence personnel are thankless and are showing lack of gratitude?!

I' am sure you are wife of an Army/Air force officer and I understand that you cant hear anything against them because you people are involved in spouse exchange.

Your strong reply suggests that you are related to defense officers who have shown thanklessness towards a great soldier.

I feel that as long as the public has a sense of whats right and whats wrong, we can bet that that we are moving in right direction. As a human being we should not let the spirit of humanity, righteousness, respect for others die down. We understand that it is missing in most of the politicians and we cant do much about it, but we should not allow ourselves to follow in their footsteps. I feel that the moral values is degrading in the society day by day because that is why we are witnessing so many chilling murders, rapes and all the heineous crimes. We should all keep the eyes of our soul open, otherwise the India it was will die down soon.
I think we all should not be complaining about the absence of the high and mighties in the political fiefdom at the funeral of Sir Sam Bahadur Manekshaw, because all his life he kept a distance from these selfish and immoralistic community, so it was good that his last journey involved only people who respected him and the soldier community.
When men of the calibre of Field Marshal Sam Bahadur strode like giants on Indian soil all types of Guerrillas were put in their place. Todays Gorillias (read ministers, babus, party chamchaas & goons) being pygmies in stature cannot & will not be able to control the nemisis of infiltrators because they are traitors themselves, selling the nation to the highest bidder. God curse them all!
only one word and that is "ridiculous" for all these so called "people's representatives". And no one to blame except all of us because we do not go out to vote. All of us want to have Bhagat Singh for revolution but in Neighbour's house. Cheers
It is not only some individuals are at fault -- this is our national character -- we have lost our priorities -- to us film star, industrialist and cricketers r bigger than everything else -- it is the entire nation to blame -- no wonder most of the india is drifting towards
