My father refused offer of my early release: 1965 POW KC Cariappa

Late Field Marshal KM Cariappa refused Pakistani counterpart Ayub Khan's offer for the release of his son Retired Air Marshal KC Cariappa, a captured pilot in the 1965 war, within a day. "My father was a man of principle...I can never imagine him asking for preferential treatment for his son," KC Cariappa said. Khan served under KM Cariappa before partition.
