At the risk of sounding corny/cliched, one of India’s greatest sons moved on to Elysian Fields today. India forgets her true hero(ine)s too often and too easily. Our true heros are not necessarily the blokes who can hold a bat and hit a ball, but the brave (wo)men who have put their lives at risk/laid down their lives in many a battlefield not just in India, but all over the world. For every Sam Manekshaw, there is a Rifleman Manoj Kumar and a Lance Naik Karam Singh. Field Marshal Sam Hormusji Framji Jamshedji Manekshaw, R.I.P!
Balakrishnan Sivaraman recalls the few times he met Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw who received his final movement orders last night.
