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. br\/\u0026gt; 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. br\/\u0026gt; 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. br\/\u0026gt; this is a survivors account of the events of that night. br\/\u0026gt; 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 Pakistans leaders and its negative effect on the state. br\/\u0026gt; there is a br\u0026gt;Chapter devoted to the birth of Bangladesh and another one to major General Ian cardozo and 4\/5 Gurkha Rifles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"notionpress.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45880573821126,"sku":"DADAX1945497750","price":37.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/71l14WytYIL.jpg?v=1779738309","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/torpedoed-at-sea-the-saga-of-ins-khukri","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
