RE:not all of them are India
by Somik Roy on Jul 16, 2008 03:51 PM

Only those who are foolish would speak in such languages. Do you know there were two Indian Generals who were Bongs - General Shankar Roychowdhury and General J N Chowdhury, famous names.
Bongs do not make soldiers they are mostly of the Commissioned Officers in Army, Airforce and Navy. They lead from the front. The Indian Medical Corps Doctors are mostly Doctors, that is why its nicknamed Indian Mukherjee and Chatterjee Corp. There are many Lt. Generals and Major Generals too. Lt General Chatterjee was the IPKF Boss in Sri Lanka. Have you heard of Bengal Sappers, thats a regiment too. They lay down mines. In IAF too there are ace Bengali supersonic pilots including Sukhois, Mirage 2000, MIG 25, Jaguars etc. their names are kept secret. In the Navy too there are many Bengali officers. Have you heard of Commander Dhar, a Bengali who is the first Naval Officer a Submarine officer who conquered Everest, the Arctic Pole etc.
Have you heard of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and his Indian National Army? Netaji was a Bengali. INA was an army which Netaji raised and defeated the British at Imphal. Do you want a list of all the veterna Bengali Defence officers, I will supply it to you. So be very careful when you talk, it only shows your level of education dear. Have you ever heard the name of Wing Commander Jumbo Majumdar the first Indian to get the flying cross, ever heard of Air Marshal Subroto Mukherjee the father of Indian Airforce. Most Gorkha regiment iscomanded by Bongs.
