Late General (later Field Marshal) KM Cariappa, while talking in - TopicsExpress



          

Late General (later Field Marshal) KM Cariappa, while talking in Hindi had a tendency to literally translate English words. While addressing the troops of 50 Para Brigade at Naushera, the formation given the responsibility to recapture Jhangar the general wanted to refer to India having become free and wanted to put the soldiers in the picture. Operations to capture Jhangar could be undertaken only after administrative arrangements could be completed. He spoke: O Para brigade ke afsaran, sardaron aur jawanon. Is waqt hum muft, aap muft, mulk muft, sab kuchh muft hai. Aap ka brigade commander saheb ne bola kih aap aage jana mangta magar ham pahile aapko tasveer ke andar dalna mangta. Aap abhi aage jana sakat nahin kionhki hamara bandobast ka dum bahut pichhe hai. Roughly translated - Oh officers, JCOs and men of the Para Brigade, today I am free, you are free and the country is free, everything is free. Your Brigade Commander told me that you wish to advance, but before that, I wish to put you all of you inside the picture. You may not move forward because the tail of our arrangements has been left behind.
