Young Army wives are leveraging public curiosity about cantonment life to build audiences and businesses. #FaujiWife and #SarkariGhar now trend regularly.
Gagandeep Singh, 24, and six co-travellers went to Russia on tourist visas but were ‘forced’ to fight on frontlines. ‘Must be brought back immediately,’ say Singh’s family members.

At present, each soldier is entitled to daily ration of 620 grams of rice or atta. Under the new plan, 25% of the 620 grams will be millets. Ragi, jowar & bajra varieties to be offered.
A series of skirmishes at Thagla Ridge culminated in a relentless Chinese onslaught, where hundreds of soldiers died between the morning and afternoon of 20 October 2022.
In ‘The Indian Contingent’, Ghee Bowman writes about the 9,711 Indian soldiers —including from Bose’s INA — recovered after the world war and sent back to India.
Country's used lithium-ion battery problem is also set to grow sharply in next decade. India 3rd largest e-waste producer with 7% global share but currently recycles only about 10% of it.
Shield AI will provide V-BAT vertical takeoff & landing drones along with licences for software, which will be integrated into aircraft and made available to select Indian partners.
No nation other than China can negotiate one-on-one with Trump on an equal footing. That’s why the middle powers who so far formed the core of multilateral bodies now feel orphaned.
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.
