Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw The Man And His Times Pdf

Manekshaw was offered the chance to command the Pakistan Army. General Ayub Khan (future dictator of Pakistan) was a close friend. But Sam’s choice was unequivocal: India. In the PDF (and the physical book), Brigadier Panthaki details a poignant scene: Manekshaw overseeing the division of military assets—every rifle, every jeep—while watching millions of refugees cross the Radcliffe Line. His times were stained by communal bloodshed, but he kept the Indian Army secular, cohesive, and professional.
