Was her sinking merely the case of an older frigate sparring with a new and very modern submarine? Or could the outcome have been changed by doing certain things differently? The matter has been debated at length, with occasional acrimony. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Captain Mahendra Nath Mulla chose to go down with his ship. He chose to follow a stern naval tradition which was no longer mandatory - during the course of the Second World War that tradition had been amended. As his warship sank, each Captain was to decide for himself what he should do. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Those then who knew Captain Mulla well, would not have been surprised at all at his decision to join his crew as they sank to their final resting places. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is a survivor's account of the events of that night. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The author also describes various other important events, both civil and military, on our sub-continent in 1971. He comments on the misuse of religion by Pakistan's leaders and its negative effect on the state. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e There is a chapter devoted to the birth of Bangladesh and another one to Major General Ian Cardozo and 4\/5 Gurkha Rifles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nm Lieutenant Command Ahluwalia (Retd)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1945497750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781945497759\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Notion Press, Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.38d","brand":"Nm Lieutenant Command Ahluwalia (Retd)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940267720959,"sku":"9781945497759","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_796ce300-ea8e-44dd-a8c3-f82d369dd7eb.jpg?v=1681446212","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/torpedoed-at-sea-nm-lieutenant-command-ahluwalia-retd-9781945497759","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
