Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, and was subsequently the first Indian Army officer to be promoted to the rank of
field marshal. His military career spanned four decades and five wars, beginning with service in the
British Indian Army in
World War II, and he is widely regarded as one of the greatest military commanders in independent India’s history. The article has passed a through A-class review at WikiProject Military History. Regards,

Sources review
Ref 2: What makes "Scoop/Whoop" a high quality, reliable source?
Otherwise, sources are in good order and of appropriate quality and reliability.

Rather than a blanket "addressed the issues", can you please specify briefly what you have done in each case?

I am almost giving you my support but there are few things that could be improved.
I wouldn't suggest posting redlinks unless you could provide a link to another Wikipedia which has the article.
Personal life looks like a really small section especially when compared with the others. I would consider merging it with death or expanding it.
I used the archive bot and it looks good so I guess it will pass its source review.
If possible I would trim the lead a bit considering it's meant to be an introduction
Other than that, ping me or mention me once you checked these stuff and I'll give you my support. Also, if possible, could give a look at
this FA which has been a bit inactive? Cheers.

@
Tintor2: Addressed all the points, except the first one. Because I put the red-links in the places where the article is notable but there isn't any article. If in future some editor creates the article, it'll get linked. Regards,

"On completion of the higher command course at the Imperial Defence College, and he was appointed the General Officer Commanding of the 26th Infantry Division." -- this sentence is ungrammatical.
The first link is placed from the lead, the second from the later body. As the second link is the "first occurrence after the lead". It is acceptable, per
MOS:REPEATLINK. Regards,

Krishna Chaitanya Velaga: So you are saying that the second link is correct? In that case the article would require a citation to a reliable mainstream source for the extraordinary claim, as according to
WP:EXTRAORDINARY.

@
MPS1992: If you are considering "Mankekshaw as the commandant of Defence Services Staff College", I don't think it is extra ordinary. Please explain me what makes the claim extra-ordinary. Regards,
Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (

The extraordinary claim is that "an inter-service institution of the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of India" is locationed in "the capital city and second most populous urban area of New Zealand", many thousands of miles away from India. This is why I suggested above that the second wikilink must be incorrect, and instead needs to point at a different article.

MPS1992: I think you're mistaken. All the links in the article, link to the college in Wellington, Tamil Nadu, India. Please check again. Regards,
