Indiatime pens an obituary to Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, who died today. I grew up hearing stories about Manekshaw’s outspokenness and his bravery. One of India’s greats. RIP Sam Manekshaw, we will always remember you.
Very few generals on the planet have had the chance to brag about creating new nations and radically changing political maps, and for Sam Hormusji Framji Jamshedji Manekshaw, that crowning achievement trumped all other accolades he won for individual bravery and valor on the battlefield.

This brings us to the famous Indian victory of 1971. It was a great victory from military point of view, but more important implications were political and theoretical. Some possible learning from Sam Manekshaw legacy.
