Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw
                                                                        Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw was a first Indian Military General who was made Field Marshal in the Indian Army. He was Indian General who was responsible for defeating Pakistan  in East Pakistan which ultimately separated from Pakistan and became Bangladesh a Sovereign State. He made  humorous and very  sarcastic  remarks( i.e. After 1971 War) about Then Pakistani Military Ruler Yahyakhan  that " Once  He took my   Motor Cycle but did not pay Rupees One Thousand for it but now has to pay for it with Half of his Country". He was referring to the incidence happened when they were working to gather in the Indian Army under British Rule.

                                                                       Indira Gandhi then Prime Minister of India once asked then Commander Chief of Indian Army General Sam  Manekshaw 'what you are up to? 'The said question was asked by  PM because of some reports that Army is up to take over the Country. Manekshow replied very politely that " You do your Job and  am doing  mine"

                                                                     He was very confident Army General quote ' Gentlemen I have arrived and there will be no withdrawal without  written orders and those orders shall  never be issued'  He had great respect for the bravery of Gurkha soldiers. He said once ' If any one tells He is never Afraid, He is Liar or He is Gurkha.'

                                                                     He was coming from Parsi Community who landed at Gujarat. The Field Marshal had Ancestral  House in the 'Valsad' Town situated in the South Gujarat. Former Prime Minister Morarji Desai was also coming from the same Town.  Hence they were friendly.  Sam once asked Morarjibhai  to give permission for extra Pint of Alcohol for soldiers at high altitudes of Himalaya.  Morarjibhai replied him in light manner that too using respectable Gujarati word used for Addressing Parsi ' Bawaji why do not you ask them to give up Alcohol It is Bad.'

                                                                  He was very Calculative, Daring and Fearless General. He refused to attack East Pakistan when situation and weather were adverse but defeated Pakistan at right time with least casualties to Indian Army.
