Young Army wives are leveraging public curiosity about cantonment life to build audiences and businesses. #FaujiWife and #SarkariGhar now trend regularly.
Demand for learning Mahjong has skyrocketed, with teachers charging upwards of Rs 12,000 for ten sessions. The tile game has become the new obsession of the urban elite.
After a police crackdown sent Bengali-speaking workers fleeing, Gurugram residents now want only vetted, local Hindu domestic staff. Rates are up and the power dynamic has flipped.
Gurugram isn’t the first city where Lazar Jankovic has launched a cleanliness drive. He has cleaned streets wherever he lived — from Bengaluru, Tamil Nadu, to Rishikesh.
Two Ghazipur-like dumps in Lucknow are now a park and a waste plant. Former municipal commissioner Inderjit Singh drove city’s clean makeover. ‘Lucknow’s entire image has changed.’
Hyderabad’s rebranded disaster agency HYDRAA is razing ‘illegal’ buildings and reclaiming old lakes, parks, and public land. For some, it’s a model to fix urban flooding; for others, abuse of power.
“You can name any state, the situation is the same. The biggest healthcare scheme of India is getting worse day-by-day,” said a senior doctor in Jaipur.
Nikki’s parents claimed that her in-laws had demanded Rs 36 lakh and a Scorpio, which police said was the family’s attempt to conceal her Instagram account — something they feared society would not accept.

In service with the British military since 2019, it is also known as the Martlet missile. Ukrainians have also deployed these missiles against Russian troops.
Education, reservations, govt jobs are meant to bring equality and dignity. That we are a long way from that is evident in the shoe thrown at the CJI and the suicide of Haryana IPS officer. The film Homebound has a lesson too.
The Cantonments of yore no longer exist. Today you will find more civilians than faujis there. Over the years the sundry perks and life style facilities of the Army are being whittled down.
This titillating glimpse of perceived exclusive living is going to create ire and public outcry about a luxurious life on a tax payer’s money, one that the Govt can ill afford, etc. (The IAS and IPS too have a decent life style but one does not see their spouses making a bandstand of it.)
Unnecessary flashing a life style that in reality does not exist for the vast majority of Army personnel will be cause enough to have these marginal perks be also taken away, if not certainly reduced.
Army wives indulging in such activity certainly do not do the Army a favour; on the contrary create unnecessary angst and negatively in public minds. something the Army does not want, cannot afford.
Army wives traditionally spend time looking into the problems of the wives and families of their soldiers and helping them improve their lives. It is what helps build a stronger, bonded unit – crucial in combat. Such activity as is being celebrated here merely creates chasms.
Being an Army wife by itself has always been seen and recognized as a privilege and a sacrifice deserving of respect; keep it that way for organizational benefit, do not dilute it for personal gain.
The Army has always been sequestered, out of public eye and limelight. Best kept like that.
What a waste!
In a desperate pursuit to gain followers, these spouses put out titillating content on social media. Of the four Instagram images posted here, one is quite clearly suggestive and sexually provocative. After all, that’s the easiest way to gain followers (usually unemployed youth high on low data rates in India) and thereby start earning off of Youtube.
In today’s digital era where work from home is accepted and at times even encouraged, the armed forces spouses can be anything they want to be. Almost all of them are very well educated and can therefore pursue careers ranging from accountancy to law to digital marketing. Despite such a wealth of options, if they are so narrowly focused on being just Youtube content creators producing frivolous reels, it does tell us something very important – the dumbing down of the armed forces officer cadre. This is not to be celebrated but to be mourned.
