Sam Bahadur, the most incomplete film about a person who figure was larger then life what Bollywood presented to you is just commercial masala to make few quick pennies then to honour a great soldier Let me tell you some facts which the movie deliberately missed to keep its masters happy The entire biography of SAM Bahadur or Manekshaw in the film has been shown till he got the post of Field Marshal. His future life is "न ब्रूयात सत्यम अप्रियम" or “let’s not speak about uncomfortable truth”. The movie conveniently doesn’t show the last 30 years of his life where it’s uncomfortable to show how Congress behaved with Sam Manekshaw. Field Marshal never retires. He can use his uniform till the end. Field Marshal Command Cane and Bharat’s Rajmudra (four lions), which is a symbol to show that the entire India is under his command can be carried by him. Manekshaw lived for 30 years after getting the post of Field Marshal. However in these 30 years the government filed a case against him under the Foreign Practice Act. (Since he was an advisor in his son-in-law's company) Fortunately, Manekshaw won the court case and came out innocent. His salary for 30 years was stopped by the Congress government. In his last days President Abdul Kalam came to know about this from the doctors of the hospital where Sam Manekshaw was admitted. Since he was not retired, he had no pension and no job, no salary, even in such a situation he did not have complain for 30 years. After Kalam's inquiry, they responded saying Field Marshal is a new post hence Pay scale has not been decided. He then worked on war footing and got him his 30 years' salary along with arrears and accrued interest. The amount was Rs 1.3 crore!!! The President's Secretary gave the check to Mr. Manekshaw and immediately Mr. Manekshaw donated all the money to the Army Widow Fund. When Sam Manekshaw passed away, Mrs. Pratibha Patil was the President, Manmohan Singh was the Prime Minister and AK Antony Defense Minister. Not one of them was present at his funeral. It was Modi sarkar who restored his honour Congress has never valued the life of soldier or anyone other then the family
