I M SURPRISED THAT THE LATE FIELD MARSHAL'S FUNERAL WAS NOT ATTENDED BY AIR CHIEF MARSHAL AND THE CHIEF OF NAVAL STAFF. NEITHER WAS HE GIVEN 21 GUN SALUTE AS REPORTED IN THE NEWS PAPERS. HE DESERVED MORE THAN WHAT HIS COUNTRY AND COUNTRYMAN GAVE HIM BACK. IT HAPPENS WITH TRULY VALIANT PERSONS. ONE LIVING EXAMPLE IS IGP KIRAN BEDI. PEOPLE WITH COURAGE AND COMMITMENT LIVE LIFE FEARLESSLY. WE CALL IT SAM DAM DUND PRINCIPLE.
