This is not a true democratic forum. Everybody here seems to be a sycophant of Manekshaw. Do not forget that in both the world wars 50% of the armed forces were Punjabi. Maneckshaw like Patel used the Sikhs and other communities for self-aggrandizement. It is a pity that in this country we respect people who live only by their own words and think of themselves as heroes while trained soldiers working in brutal tortous conditions die an unsung death.
He has lived a long and noble life and it is time the earth bids adieu to a noble son.Bless me father for I have sinned if I cannot sing the common refrain and bless Mr. Manekshaw for his noble heroics and selfless acts for the large majority of poor Gungadins.
