Re: The lion will roar no more ... but the thousand lions he created will roar foreve
May his soul rest in peace..
he was so kind that he arranged bed for almost all of the captured pakistanis in 1971 war and he himself with his soldiers slept on floor on blanket.. i know few may feel he tortured his own soldiers but he knew that war captured ppl are human and moreover in india everyone coming from outside is guest.. be it an enemy

Because they care only for political success. But he was different. He was a true national hero.

Re: The lion will roar no more ... but the thousand lions he created will roar foreve
Its nice to know that so many of our young happening generation care so much about Sam Bahadur. But its sad to note that due to the miserely policies of our Govt (read politicians+beurocrates(IAS) ) most of our bright youngmen are not ready to join the Armed Forces (The payscales are pathetic dude..). Its a shame when you find that all the three services are facing shortage of officers, and that too in a land of billion plus.
