ManekshawtheAir Marshal

The Greatest Army Chief, India has ever seen!. He is no more. The great Soldier died at the ripe age after leading the nation to greatest heights during his tenure as Chief of the Indian Army and thereafter as the FIELD MARSHAL.The rarest quality of a Leader personified in this Great Officer who was the Main Stay in the Bangla Desh war during 1971. I was one of the Territorial Army Officers deputed to restore the Railway lines during the war. The OLQ ( Officer Like Quality) seen in him was never experienced in any other officers of the Defence set up so far.

It was a heart throbing feeling to hear that none of the Seniors officers of the Army attended the Great Man's funeral at Chennai!. Is that to honour the old Saying UNHEARD & UNSUNG?.There is Something Rotten in the State of Denmark-nay in INDIA!...
