A brigadier-general by 1963 and a major-general by 1967, he was appointed chief of the Eastern Command in 1969 by Gen. Sam Maneckshaw, the Parsi chief of staff. Jacob’s immediate superior was Lt. Gen. J.S. Aurora, a Sikh.
Impressive secular credentials

India, IIRC, is the only country in the world with no anti-Semitism at all and where Jews have resided in peace for over 2000 years (I think the state of Kerala has the oldest synagogue in the world or something like that)

He has a cafe au lait complexion, so he "looks" Indian. Still, it's wonderful to hear that he never experienced anti-Semitism in the Indian army.
Most Jews in India would look Indian. Just as Jews in Yemen look Yemeni and Jews in Europe look European. Our image of Jews is generally based on the European looking Jews.
