The Unforgettable Sam Manekshaw: The First Soldier Of India
Moreover, he brought a better chance of peace and stability to the sub-continent than at any time since its 1947 partition into India and Pakistan. Last January [1973], the Indian Cabinet, service and government officials cheered themselves hoarse in the glittering, chandelier-lit Ashoka Hall of the President’s Delhi residence when Sam Hormuzji Framji Jamshedji Manekshaw became the first Indian to rise to the rank of field marshal.
