RE:Field Marshal Sam MAnekshaw

As far as I know during 1971 war we did not have shortage of officers in Armed forces. On the western front the ratio was 1 to 1.8 in India's favour and we ruled the waves from the beginning of war. Apart from our Army our Airforce was also able to prove its superiority in a short time. Above all we received solid support from Soviet Union which played no small measure in our victory. (ofcourse all these are well known facts)
