Vidya Bharati Alumni pays homage to Sam Manekshaw on His Birth Anniversary

Vidya Bharati Alumni pays homage to SamManekshaw, the First Field Marshal of India Who Made 90000 Pakistani Soldiers Surrender in the 1971 Indo-Pak War, on His Birth Anniversary.

One of the most valiant, celebrated and decorated army officers this country saw was Sam Hormusji Framji Jamshedji Manekshaw aka Sam Manekshaw, who had a spectacular four-decade-long career in the Indian Army and his tales of valour and bravery gave him the name ‘Sam Bahadur’. He is especially known for his heroics during the 1971 Indo-Pak War when he was the Chief of Army Staff.

In October 1932, Sam became a part of the first batch of cadets for a military academy in India. In an exceptional career spanning across four decades, Manekshaw fought five major wars including World War II in 1942, the Indo-Pak partition war in 1947, Sino-Indian War in 1962, Indo-Pak War in 1965 and the 1971 war of Bangladesh Liberation.

In remembrance of Sam Manekshaw and as a support toward the nation, let us join the Vidya Bharati Alumni Network.
