The reason why the people mentioned in the article did not attend the Funeral of a Legend was simple. They did not know who Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw was! Just as they all mistook Wellington to be in New Zealand; many Up there must have thought Sam Manekshaw was Field Marshal of New Zealand Army. God Help India, if we were to go for another war - with the kind of 'Leaders' we have today. 'Our' Netas Live and Die for the moment.

I feel sad when I completely agree with CountMeout. This is the state of our leaders. But who is at fault ? All of us including Countmeout. We elected them didnt we? Now let us pay for our choice.

Sorry ,our leaders are not so dumb, they know very well he died in Coonoor; If he had indeed died in Wellington NZ,they would have commandeered all the Air India Boeing 747s and flown there .Don't underestimate our netas

I fully agree with the view expressed. Our Netas are very fond of going abroad at the drop of a hat. dhayanandhan
