Plot summary
Pakistan's army moves against the Bengali nationalist movement in East Pakistan, killing thousands and driving millions across the border into India. In Delhi, Captain Balram Singh Mehta, a young officer of the 45th Cavalry, keeps landing in difficulties with his superiors, and his elder brother, Major Ram Mehta, tries to make him more disciplined. Their sister Radha is recruited by the Communication and Analysis Wing for her skill at cryptography. The regiment's PT-76 tank, which floats on water, is nicknamed Pippa. Ram is summoned to a forward area and then given a secret mission inside East Pakistan, while Balram, denied a place at the front, is kept at a desk job. He is set to work improving the tank's seating. General Sam Manekshaw, the Army Chief, approves the change and sends him to the front with his regiment.
