Looking back in the rear view mirror of time, Sam Manekshaw& #39;s iconic address to IMA cdts.

"Many changes have taken place, & #39;One thing remains the same, that is, "Your Task & Your Duty!" You are required to ensure the security of this country against any aggressor"!
@Ra_THORe

"What does that mean for you? It means that you shall have to fight & fight to win! There is no room for the loser. If you lose, don& #39;t come back. You would have disgraced the country. The country won& #39;t accept you".

"The people of cities, towns, villages & gaons where you come from, won& #39;t look at you. Even your gharwali will despise you. As I look around, I see parents, I see relations, I see friends who are looking at you with Trust & Pride".

"Make sure gentlemen that you don& #39;t betray their trust or their pride. May the winds of fortune blow kindly upon you & may good luck attend all your deeds. I wish you great success".
