I could imagine a soldier physically assited by wife in combat zone ………He will be more mature less aggressive and very responsible. He will develop affection and peace and may win hearts and mind of terrorists and people accross LOC.
A soldier leaves his love at home from ages to fight battle! With women emancipation he may be able to nurture a family in LOC! Politically it could help!
Professionals from world’s one of the largest army and being coerced to agree, basis of jurisprudence of sexual equality! It’ s great, judges may help to judge battlegrounds as they pass the final verdict! If they decide for army then we will win all battles at front and at home with equality!
Wish – This change shall put an end to expectations from men to remain men at all times! Soon there shall be no difference and there shall be no war!
Women battalion only for women troop and officers and commanded by them only is one of the sollution. Let them be alloted all admin work related to respective corp – invluding of fighting arms. Let the serving male officers be only be given and alloted fighting and deplyement work where maternity issue and all may not arise. More than 5% of the admin work is given to make offr now in different corp, allot this 5% to women and thus increase their strength. So if only males are accepted for such chivalry roles, let them not sit in air conditioned office at metros . Let all of those work given to women cadre. Now i am sure many male officers will have objection to it. As in few places and for few people- fauj mauj hain. Not generalised, but everyone in fauj knows whats being talked about.
The only practical way to induct women into combat arms under existing Indian social and cultural conditions, is to have separate dedicated women battalions, all commanded by women at various levels of commands and testing them in actual operational engagements. The nation, and especially the media and women’s rights activists, should then accept women battle casualties and body bags.
