This is more an account of a miracle than a war story, war for Mumbai, and against Nehru, a man of invincible power, impeccable glory and incredible popularity; God not only to Congress men, but unexceptionably to all Indians. Unquestionably, it was a losing war. Mice pitted against a cat. Prayers and passion against paramount power. Naïve rookies against a diabolic game player. Walking wounded against blood-lusting monsters. And yet, against overwhelming odds, the weak won.
