Sam Manekshaw, also known as Sam Bahadur (Sam the Brave), was the Chief of the Army Staff in the Indian Army during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. A national hero, Manekshaw earned acclaim for his bravery and strategic acumen and had a great sense of humor. He became the first Indian Army officer to be promoted to the rank of Field Marshal.
Upon his appointment as the Chief of the Army Staff in 1969, he undertook the responsibility of modernizing the Indian Army and preparing it for a potential conflict with Pakistan. He led the Indian Army to victory in the war, which resulted in the creation of Bangladesh.
