I had the honour of meeting and escorting him in 2014 at a Vijay Diwas event. He was 93 then. He was suffering from dementia due to old age. However, what amazed me was the fact that he remembered each and every incident of the glorious campaign of 1971 Indo Pak war, especially the surrender event. What a magnificent soldier he was! A general salute to him!
He came to Bangladesh and attended the victory day parade in 2011. My father (who was also a Mukti Bahini fighter) excitedly directed my attention towards him and told me the whole history. I was only 11 and Abbu instilled the spirit into me early. The general was a great man
Lots and lots of respect General Sir !! Even if no one remembers you and your team officially, we the citizens of India very well do remember, also Pakistan as a country will always remember!!
As a great nation, we have millions inspiring stories. It is time we should to revisit our great heroes and express our gratitude. Last month, I visited our National War Memorial and shared a sombre experience at sun set. As a conscientious desi(I am an OCI), I was wondering:it took 75 years to make a National War Memorial (In India, there are several cemeteries where English Soldiers' graves are maintained by us!). It is time, we should make our narrative constructive and progressive.
When every neighbour is being lead by an army dictator, Indian army generals stood for Democracy (not in the army, but at parliament) There was a saying in those war times, "We will win not bcoz we are stronger but bcoz we are just" 🙏🇮🇳
Sagat's helicopter operation and dash to Dhaka, and Jacob's bluff to negotiate the surrender with Niazi are two massive coups that truly won the overwhelming victory of '71.
This is a general from an era when military men were expected to exude great confidence, charm, eloquence and of course a courageous personality and Gen. Jacob clearly did, all of the above.
Need to check if the population is pro India. Information suggests that there's demographic changes...... settling population from Punjab (their side).
1) During 1965, Bengali soldiers on Pakistani pay role were patriotic and loyal, so INDIA could capture a small area of Lahore and Sialkot, but on other hand lost 6 times more area of Rajistan, Chhum Jaurian, Fazalk and Prominent town of KHEM KERN. Pakistani flag was hoisting on Dawarka Forte, 250 miles away from Karachi naval head quarter. 2) During 1971, Bengali soldiers on Pakistani pay role were traitors and quisling and have been providing the secret information to their boss country INDIA, that led disintegration and defeat to my country Pakistan
The great, evergreen Lt Gen Jacob. What he did to get Niazi to surrender is the best example of the legendary ability of Jews to negotiate 😊. Sheer brilliance Sir. Salute to your dedicated service to the nation.
We have to respect his views. However, anyone who knows the key players will mention the biggest role militarily was that of Gen. Manekshaw and Gen Arora. Also the brilliant Mrs. Indira Gandhi, T.N Kaul, Haksar, etc. played a big role in policy and as usual the USSR a loyal nation helped in every fashion. If the USSR had not helped there would have been no Bangladesh in the immediate future surely. Jacob was not too fond of the USSR all know the reasons. He loved China more than the USSR but China ran out of fright in this war rather than take on India. Jacob had a role but not the prime one certainly Yet I respect this proud Indian general.
See the inclusivity of India. A Parsi (Iranian Zoroastrian) Army Chief (Manekshaw) sends in a Jew (JFR Jacob) into Muslim majority Bangladesh (Then East Pakistan) to fight a radicalised Muslim army of Pakistan. And everyone from the Indian Army works to a common aim. So proud.
Goosebumps to see the legendary General again! JAI Hind!
When this interview was taken The General was 91 years old! Simply floored by his memory prowess!
👍👍👍
Because he is a Jew... 😊😊
Sir He was a Jew, a chosen race,
@@ttagore1552being a Jew has nothing to do with one’s memory. Memory prowess is attained the hard way with a lot of neural stimulation.
@@AchieversChoice07 you are correct sir. But Jews are chosen people.

PROUD TO BELONG TO THE LAND OF SUCH BRAVEHEARTS !! ALWAYS LOOK OUT FOR US FROM ABOVE MR JACOB
Sir Jacob is a Jews who fought for india n ensured that 93k pak solders surrender. Diversity is unity n that’s the beauty of india. Love Jacob sir.
Aa gayai jaat dundnai walai...shameless
@Akshay Kumar pal no he is a jew

Yes a bhagdadi jew from calcutta of that time .100% Indian fought ww2 ,1965 Indo pak war, and land mark 1971

Confidence next level
When every neighbour is being lead by an army dictator, Indian army generals stood for Democracy (not in the army, but at parliament)

Thanks for your service sir
Great general..
What a great guy. India is great to have such guys serving in the Army.
Highly respected & tremendously intelligent Jew who stood for India. Salut Sir.
A Great Soldier , The Sole reason, India won, The Battle of Bangladesh 👊👏🇮🇳
Great Indian Lieutenant General.........India has ever Seen.......We Salute Him for his Contribution & Performance ..........
My God ! She interviewed him long time back ?
A phenomenal general and Indian Astute Professional and thorough. His biography is well worth a read.
He is our national hero ❤️
Proud being an ESM

Niazi must be fearing Tiger's army more than the Indian army. Surrender was easier.
This is a general from an era when military men were expected to exude great confidence, charm, eloquence and of course a courageous personality and Gen. Jacob clearly did, all of the above.
We need such one presently 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
lucky to even hear an honored voice.
A Big Salute to General Jack
Jai Hind
Brilliant . Can this happen in POK once more ?
Unless people of pok want
Need to check if the population is pro India.
Information suggests that there's demographic changes...... settling population from Punjab (their side).
With nukes nope
Chances are there !!!
We need another Manekshaw, Jacob, Aurora, Shekhon, Ekka, to achieve the goal.
I Salute Gen Jacob , a very intelligent person.
Victory day!!! 🇮🇳💪🇧🇩
Absolutely right 💯🙏👌👍
