FIELD MARSHAL SAM MANEKSHAW

This documentary on India's greatest soldier will rank as a masterpiece not only for the way it is presented, but also for the frankness, humour and sincerity of the Field Marshal himself. Set against the beautiful backdrop of the Nilgiris and his elegant home 'Stavka' this is an autobiographical account of his life and times stated mostly by himself in his inimitable, simple yet unambiguous style. This is something I enjoyed watching and have no hesitation in recommending it to all my friends, including those who have not had the signal honour of serving in our great country's gallant armed forces. This will take the better part of an hour, but trust me, you will never regret having logged in. This is a real treasure which should be included in our school and college text books for what is portrayed is something every Indian will cherish with pride. Long live Sam Bahadur!
