Back in 2002, this is how Sam Manekshaw recounted his days of glory.

A forgiving chief who feels for soldiers, his disappointment is the highest punishment there can ever be for a soldier.

S.H.F.J maneskshaw what a man, a true portrait of glory the first field marshal. We admire you and celebrate you sir ❤

[bharathu]

He has never failed to be inspirational at any point of his life.

[gourabneogi]

One of our greatest achievements was simply having this legend as our Army

[isshiomi]

Salute to one of the greatest legends of Mother India....Tough from outside but so much soft from inside...what a pure soul he was!...

[Freakoticbbx]

Still remember meeting him when I was 14. He was in the hospital in his private ward, watching CNN on Satellite cable. My mom had always been enamoured by him. He held her hand and told her how wrong she was to marry my dad and that she should have been born 40 years earlier. 😂 She's especially proud of that moment and recalls this story to everyone.

What a legend! Despite his rank he has compassion for the soldiers in the field. A true Leader!

[ajaysharma-ndnt]

He could have said the result of WAR OF 71 is his greatest achievement but his answer 'HE NEVER PUNISHER A SOLDIER' is the reflection of his greatness...
A WARRIOR, AN INSPIRATION, A TRUE LEGEND..
SALUTE TO HIS ETERNAL SOUL..

What a fantastic leader! Never lose sight of the grunt work and then challenging life they lead!
A true leader thinks with his heart! Fine example set for highest standards!

It’s because India has had Military leaders like him that the military never took control and never will. Jai Hind!
