Field Marshal Maneckshaw on the importance of moral courage in leadership 

India needs more men like the Late Field Marshall Maneckshaw in all aspects of Indias Administrative service.

This reminds me of Dr Kalam, who said his favourite character from the Mahabharata was not Arjuna, nor Yudhishthir, nor Krishna. "My favourite character from the Mahabharata is Vidur, for he possessed the courage to speak truth to authority." Sam Manekshaw was no different. A charismatic man who played a crucial role in ensuring the stability and security of a young, independent India.

We needed a PM who gave Army Chief confidence to not only speak with full freedom, but who had full freedom afterwards to tell the story, without any repercussions. Of course, as a leader IG realised the truth in Army Chief’s statement and heeded his advise, that’s why she was able to bifurcate Pakistan despite tremendous opposition from US & China. She checkmated both, by signing a security pact with USSR during the interregnum.

The last line of “my wife had enough money” is the most important one On a very serious note. Only a man with zero incentives can have “moral courage” to speak the truth or mince no words

Not only the Field Marshall, but the best General India ever had and will have in future. To every Indian Patriot, Manekshaw will always remain The Sam Bahadur❤

The 1971 Indo Pak war victory ✌️🙌 is due to our brave Field Marshal Sam Manek Shaw . My Royal Salute to brave 💪 Manek Shaw . Jay Hind 🇮🇳

A country is lucky to have a gem like late sam manekshaw once in a thousand years. Massive respect sir!!

Heard from him in person in Staff College Wellington in 1989..... Magic he was.

That's Our Field Marshall Sam Maneckshaw. He never ran away from Facts but always stood his grounds and fought for it. Jai Hind sir.

He is a Legend,a Lion.This country will never forget youSir.This country is indebted to you🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I am dumbstruck here, to see one of the greatest Generals, how light heartedly and hilariously sharing about how he steered the country from the gravest moments to a huge success and relief. Epitome of courage and a brilliant mind. We owe our eternal gratitude to you sir.

Moral of the story: A leader succeeds when he/she listens to the sincere advice of the expert of the matter she deals with. Indira Gandhi succeeded in helping Bangladesh because she listened to the field marshal and let him have his way.

Missing Sam Manekshaw more than ever before. Jai Hind

True patriot with great vision

How I wish,our Generals, Civil Servants,Justice were like this....how I wish...🎉.The greatest General of India.

He is so learned, well aware knowledgeable, knew his job, the right person to do his job, knew what he was speaking, he had Vision n great strategist.

I Salute Immortal Respected Shree Sam Manekshaw .

Most courageous ,brave, honest and patriotic person. 🙏

Huge respect and gratitude from Bangladesh

"Rank doesn't dignify a man ; a man can dignify the rank !"

Iron man courageous enough to put up the fact. We salute him❤

It was the battle which was "WON on the GROUND" "LOST on the TABLE".......

One of the finest battles, we ever fought and had all the aces up on the sleeve. We could have removed 370, got back POK and many more. Fate has its own history.

I wish I could give this video a million thumbs up.

Thank you beloved Field Marshall for being there ❤❤❤❤❤ Feel blessed to have been able to listen to the stories and bravery and the integrity with which you went about your duties !! Feel proud to be an Indian , a Hindustani....where the Indian Army Chief was Sam Bahadur Maneckshaw.... Sir , your charisma, confidence , love for the nation are unmatched !! You were , you are and you will always be the Most Beloved Soldier of this great Nation !! Jai Hind !! 😊

Can listen to late field marshal any number of times, yet one feels like listening once more

Man of character, honour and courage are hard to find these days ... sam is was and always will be "Bahadur"

We really need another Manek Shaw ji to strengthen our India

This is a masterpiece strategic thinking upon right timing for starting a war, and knowing one's own business and the right time to do the same. A very very mighty salute to Field Marshall General Manekshaw.

A great PM and a great General

Late Field Marshall Sam. Manekshaw Patriotic Soldier

What a champ! It's rare to find men like him today.

Moral courage is a higher and rare virtue than physical courage. William Slim

*Why We dont get taught about this great man in our notebooks?*

I'm not knowledgeable enough to put the right word to describe his height of courage and morality. He is a rare birth personality in Indian defence segment. A great warrior and a patriot.

Sam was so clear in his thoughts and clearly very outspoken and definitely brave being the only field Marshall till date, I presume. But his outspokenness has something which we should know. He must've been very sure that he was talking to a Prime Minister who was very strong and considerate at the same time. He was very sure about the considerate or human part and that he will not be asked to sent in his resignation. That was SAM and that was INDI(R)A. Hat's off to both these great gems of our country

He was man of cheeky humour and wit besides being a gallant chief.Jai Hind Sir let your guardian soul protect our borders and soldiers forever.❤

I always love his speech I don't know why ....but i can not skip his speech

ऐसे महापुरुष को बार बार प्रणाम यह हमारे भारत की निधि रहे हैं

What a man!!! A legend. Thank you, dear sir, for your service and leadership! Jai Hind! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Morals and courage go hand in hand...they complement each other...take out moral, and there won't be any courage to speak about...take out courage, and there won't be any morals to speak about

Great person a coorgi proud his legacy unmatched

Excellent job was done by Very Respected Manekshaw. Hats off to him.

The legacy we carry is precious, exemplary and legendary.... the present well, the lesser said the better....

Salute You Sir ji Jai Hind Jai Jawan. Nice Speech Sir I St time I am watching this video ji

So, nice to hear him. Amazing Combination of courage and intellect

To hv the moral courage a leader must possess education, honesty , sense of responsibility, integrity, patriotism and above all farsightedness. Indira ji had no want on those.....

Rarely subscribe, but after watching Sam speak, I hit the button. Real pity India is short of men like him

We are proud to have our field marshal as SAM sir.❤

marshal you are brave and wise man.

He's each words prove that he is a leader ❤ great personality

Hats off to Field Marshal Sam to deal with idiots who called themselves ministers ..at least Mrs Gandhi didn’t bring her ego in and hats off to her🎉

Excellent Field Marshal Sir.

What a man what a soldier they don't make anymore like him

What a man, he's an inspiration for generations

Sam Bahadur Maneskshaw... He was Bharats Ratna...an epitome of the true warrior. Always remembered fondly for the liberation of Bangladesh. Jai Hind

Thanks for this information all these facts should reach eligible citizens of India so that they /we will understand the past for better future

love you sir, you did great work for national, our generation always admire you 😊😊😊

Few days ago in my essay paper of UPSC cse mains, i have wrote about this incident in Essay of "visionary leader= Moral Intuition + Moral logic

Awesome for bravo hearts of BHARAT ...daredevils eagles dare anytime against venomous rattle crabs.... they said it... they did it - walk your talks ... not unjust blabs VANDE MAATARAM ❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

A great Army man and an equally commendable PM, who was able to work with strong individuals and heed their advice. In our age where Modiji suggests clouds providing natural cover for covert operations and army chiefs not countering, it’s a field day for our enemies.

What a personality he was …🙏🏼

Brilliance knows no boundaries

Excellent share 🎉 thanks so much to hear Fauji Sam voice and his ground explanation and not fearing to tell the situation 🎉 thanks again 🎉

*Sam Manekshaw* Greatest Indian soldier Led India to victory in 1971 war Brilliant strategist and compassionate leader Advocate for secularism and democracy Inspiration for all Indians *Jai Hind!*

Brilliant General with sharp & strategic mind. ❤❤❤❤❤

The last lines were gold! But dayummm the personality of this guy!!

Moral of the story: “Amount of money is directly proportionate to courage “

Very very few Executives these days, who has 'moral courage ' to open their mouth before legislatives, Superiors..!!👌👍🙏

We show the same attitude and courage in Gen. Bipin Rawat... it was unfortunate that we lost him soo early😢

AFSOS !! WHAT KIND OF MINISTERS WE WERE RULED IN PAST WHO KNEW NOTHING 🤔 Great great Gen Msneksha 👌

Salute... The Great Warrior.....

One of the finest soldiers of The Indian Army 🙏

Nice Story to think about

India is very fortunate to have Sam Manekshaw around that time who finished his job brilliantly and thus Bangladesh was born

Your name is Sam but you for us you are Shyam of 1971 war

All sincere regards to this great Man Sam maneckshaw.🇮🇳🙏one in millions who could take on that nehruvian lady.

General with lots of courage

I Salute Sam Sir from the bottom of my heart

Sam deserves the respect from every indian.

One of the greatest Indians.

Only if leaders like him existed today....

Great General and a great Patriot. Jai Hind

Wonderful, 👍👍

Today our accent is very different, I saw that 20indians talking about India or views on India they also had good accent and now I heard SAM sir he also have good accent

He once said soldiers came from all walks of lives and from all states so he knew some words of many languages since he heard his soldiers speak in that language. He said the only language he didnt know was gujarati.

Sir🙏 forever, Parsi are lovingly mad ,brilliant, nationalist, 🙏🙏🙏 indebted thank once again indebted to this unique race🙏🙏🙏

Hats off to your intelligence Sir

His has humor of another level ❤

Salute to General Maneckshaw

Field Marshal Sam, stood up PM Mrs Indira.But victory was planned & accomplished by the then Eastern Army commander Maj.Gen.JFR.Jacob. Credit largely go to him too.

A Great PM indeed and General.

This is what legend means 🎉

Parsis are gems

The greatest General India ever had Sam Manekshaw.

It was Lt Gen J F R Jacob who planned & executed the Military Operations in Dec/1971. Sam & Aurora had differences with the War Plan but Jacob managed to execute it due to prevailing International situations. Credit must also to be given to JFR Jacob

A rare quality in today's leaders....

❤❤❤ best of the best ❤❤❤❤ manekshaw was the best

The man who broke Pakistan into 2 pieces.... Respect to you sir ❤
