As fighting raged, Jacob flew to Dacca and wrested unconditional surrender terms from his opposite number, Gen. Amir Niazi, who would later accuse Jacob of having blackmailed him into submission. A truly classic line!

Interesting!
I'm afraid India's quick rout of the Pakistanis brought it the same trouble Israel's victory did in the Six Day War -- humiliated Muslims seeking revenge via terror.

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.

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
