Major General Ian Cardozo was a young major in the 5 Gorkha Rifles in the 1971 war with Pakistan. In a swift military offensive, India defeated Pakistan within 13 days, liberated a region and led to the creation of Bangladesh.

In the war, the then Major Cardozo stepped on a landmine and had to cut off his badly wounded leg with his own khukri.

Yet, through sheer will power and determination, he did not let his disability come in the way of his duty as a soldier and went on to become the first disabled officer in the Indian Army to command an infantry battalion and a brigade.

At that time, He was still not wounded. There was a BSF commander who got panicky when he saw all these fellows (prisoners) and asked: "Please send someone here.' He told the CO that He would go. He did not know that He was walking on a minefield. He stepped on a mine and his leg blew off.

A Bangladeshi saw this happening, he picked him up and took him to the battalion headquarters. They were feeling bad. He told the doctor, 'Give me some morphine.' They had no#8800 it had been destroyed during the operations. 'Do you have any Pethidine?' 'No'

He told him: 'Could you cut this off?'

He said: 'I don't have any instrument.'

He asked my batman: 'Where is my KHUKHRI ?'

He said: 'Here it is, Sir.'

He told him: 'Cut it off.'

He answered in Gorkhali: 'Sir, I can't do it.'

He told him: 'Give it to me. I cut my leg off " and ordered: 'Now go and bury it.'
