Glowing tributes to Sam Bahadur
by mallaiah anchoori on Jun 27, 2008 11:21 PM   Permalink

Alas!Mother India has lost one of the most chivolrous sons who was responsible for our resounding victory in 1971 Indo Pak war which also gave birth to Bangla Desh.His inimatable war strategies were nightmares for the enemies & very rightly he was called as "Bahadur"For the services he rendered,the valour he showed & for the dignity he maintained without succumbing to any poilitical pressures or enticements talked as interesting stories among the military circles,he deserves to be awarded "Bharatha His Rathna" at least posthumously.His charismatic face glowing with valiance especially with the cut of his moustaches of his unique style makes one feel that a war hero should be like that.Handsome and smart,he was a role model for any soldier.Though brave and grave in his looks,there used to be always a tinge of gentle smile on his face indicating his countenance to all good.He was witty,but firm & determined in his stand & strategies.Perhaps,he is the only soldier who had the guts to say in a casual but resolute manner-"I am always ready sweetie"to Prime Minister Indira who asked him as to whether at all he was ready for the war.The curt answer"No" for war at a time when P.M.asked,but chose a time when things were favourable according to his own strategy indicates how indomitable and thorough he was in war fare.Indian Nation lost a great hero who shall remain in annals of country's history for ever.May GOD bless his soul eternally in peace & his spirit guide the Indian forces
