Delhi.
Zoru Bakshi is one of the most well known generals of the Indian Army.

A highly decorated soldier, he possesses all the qualities one would expect
in a successful military leader. A thorough professional, he epitomises the
classic image of an officer and a gentleman. In battle, he displayed, time
and again, his brilliance as a strategist and a tactician. In all the operations
he undertook, he tasted defeat not once, nor did he lose an inch of territory
to the enemy. This is a unique record, unequalled by any other Indian
military leader except Lieutenant General Sagat Singh. His courage on the

battlefield was matched by his sense of fair play, upright behaviour,
morality and the courage to stand by his convictions and his subordinates.
Zoru Bakshi is a true son of the soil, who defended the honour of his
motherland and of his command, always and every time.
