Not to lower the dignity of a departed person .. there is nothing great in what Maneckshaw did. He was paid for doing his job in the army - it was teh tax payers money -that of our fathers. How come his valor and skills did not work against China? the blamce was quitely put on Krishna Menon then defence minister. Against pakistan India was winning all the wars 1948, 1965. It was no big deal liberating Bangladesh . Dacca and Islamabad were poles apart and the army in Dacca was always a sitting duck for Indian operations moreoevr the local bengalis were completely against against urdu speaking pakistanis.
Anbody could have done the same job of Mr.Maneck shaw. Karunanidhi has got better jobs. Let us stop this pakistan obsession.
