This guy is just maligning the name of one of the greatest Indians of all time-Field Maeshal SHFJ Manekshaw. This kind of yellow journalism shows the pathetic nature of these journos ie. to write anything to create controversies.

Dude... have you even read the article? There is not one word said against Field Marshal Manekshaw in it. This is not yellow journalism but even the best journalism can only do so much if readers are like you.

But the reporters intent is to show that India was involved with mukti bahini.And Great Manekshaw was involved in it. Why there is a need to highlight these facts when you wat its implications can be.
This vijapurkar appears to be a mad fellow. He always writes something sensational without thinking of its implications. Who knows whether he actually met Manekshaw or he is simply making fool of us. Was Manekshaw so irresponsible and senseless to make such revealation before an ordinary journalist like Vijapurkar. Every contry has its own secrets and why the loss of papers should only be linked to the India's role in freedom struggle of Banglades it may contain several other important documents but surprisingly Vijpurkar could only smell those papers. Rediff should not provide space to the articles written by such 3rd grade journalists.
Our people have master minded to pin point the mistakes, which in their presumption is mistake and to get cheap publicity. Everything is over for 1971 or 1980, do not know why such issues are raised.Get ready to fight with terrorists, China or even China and Pak together.
And Mr. Journalist - can you justify this action of yours as a responsible professional to 'reveal' the exchange you had with Maneckshaw years back? The radio station story and many others could be facts that can be made out by deducing 2 2. Maneckshaw is no longer there to shoot you. So you have done an additional good job of exposing the true yellow color of journalism.
Preposterous and attention seeking article - either spiced up or fraudulent because:
1) If India had a role India could have done it earlier and prevented the killing of 3 million Bangladeshi Hindus by Paki Army. 2) If it was so smart a government it could have annexed west Pakistan after defeat , charged war damages back and generally disarmed the country. 3) The peaceful handover of 90,000 soldiers without taking revenge of partition deaths. 4) Not recovering of POK lost without any thinking was the last straw in colosal stupidity of the event.
not the good time to talk abt it..every country has their dark secrets.. nothing wrong in sageguarding countries interest but it give enough fuel to those who overreact to something..
