When Indira gandhi lost the elecion,but wanted to continue in office there were reports of Military take over of India........and Sam prudently kept the army in barracks and never indulged in the power game and never interfered in civil matters.......Babu Jag jeeven ram wanted the reservation policy to be extended to armed forces and Sam manekshaw snubbed him and kept Indian armed forces away from this monster of reservation.............After his retirement the Govt never appointed a Field Marshall till this date now what we have is a seperate heads of Army,Navy and Air force.........
