I know that Field Marshall Maneckshaw is one of those true national heroes who are revered by people from all waks of life- irrespective of their political and communal affiliations. But in this great country can we not produce even more of such heroes and national icons who shall help rid us of the corrupt politicians who rule the roost now. I hope and pray that the soul of the indomitable soldier rest in peace and appeal to our countrymen to rise above their selves and the occasion to produce more such fine gentlemen and national icons- so that 'nature may rise up and say- he was a man'.
