The next time you see a post featuring a sari-clad woman at a party or a travel reel from an unknown location, ask yourself — how does her joy threaten yours?
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.
The wives group call the cheetah and chetak fleet 'flying coffins', ask for replacement. MoD had approved 12 LUHs from HAL Nov 2021, but are dragging their feet on placing orders
‘Mother kept pouring water in our eyes whenever the burning became unbearable. She pushed our bodies deep into the blanket, making sure not a single part was exposed,’ my father said.

The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.
Army wives are a highly educated lot. Many of them are lawyers, CAs, engineers and what not. Given how work-from-home is in vogue now, especially since Covid, they can surely pursue very fulfilling careers. Even when circumstances compel them to stay at home, they can have a genuine career.
But to post Insta reels and Tiktok content and try to portray it as a career is just pathetic.
One would have understood if even the reels/shorts were focused on things like house interior decoration or gardening. But they very clearly are not, with only a minority indulging in such serious hobbies. The usual staple is to pose in revealing and skimpy outfits – the more skin, the better. Under the excuse of being a “fashion influencer”, bold and provocative content is created. A desperate pursuit for followers on social media platforms results in competitive sleaziness.
All this just hurts the image of the Indian armed forces. As it is, the jawans and officers stay away from home for extended periods of time. When they know that their wives, back home, are indulging in such “content creation”, it surely does not soothe and calm them. Quite the opposite effect, rather.
Dear Didi/Madam, you should be thankful for your freedom of expressions and your privilige. At least, you got to say your piece on a national media platform. I’m sure if you were not an army wife, this could have been little difficult.
Also, let’s hail democracy and respect other privilige of freedom of expression. It could be harsh, critical, agonizing but it is people right to express on public domains.
No one is attacking an army wife or husband who is choosing not to share their personal life on social media. The whole point of social media content is to garner attention and validation. Of course, it hurts when you get negative attention.
Let’s be honest over here yes it is tough as the jobs of their spouses are in a difficult places. But they still live a better life than majority of the people of this country and let’s not kid ourselves that it isn’t true. Also ask them how do they use the Sahayaks that are provided to them for their own personal chores. The benefits they get from the canteens and the parties they attend? Again, I am not saying that it isn’t tough but it is still better than majority of what people get. Also, I would suggest to stop calling yourself “army wives” and be proud of you can do and can achieve rather than basing your entire personality on it
