I bow to this great son of India and prey that his soul may rest in eternal peace. As a young lad of 18 years,I still recall the heady days of that month of December 1971.It was a dream time in the life of any youngester.After the shameful defeat of 1962 at the hands of the chinese,this adventure on the part of the Indian army was totally a surprise. And the architect of this victory was "Sam Bahadur" I still recollect the pic of one hoarding that had appeares in the Illustrated Weekly then,put up on the western front somewhere near Karachi. It went something like this " Now you are entering Pakistan.Remember that Indian women are the most beautiful in the world.If you still cant resist,hands in your pocket and think of Sam" What a man sir,what a man.
