He will be hanged in due course, for the dirty indian terrorist he is, May God have mercy on his soul, because he will get none from us. The only thing keeping him alive is Afzal Guru, the GOI have been told in no uncertain terms, that if AG is hanged, SS will follow him within hours.
That women is truly bad arse and so my respects to you ma'am ! A noob question : Does India employ women in combat arms of the regular army ?
Yea I knew it. You are so embarassed by the topic of this thread that you want to derail it by completely off topic posts about sarabjit singh and afzal guru.
I would urge others not to fall for that typical bait.
Nope. Only in support roles, like the medical corps. But some women have risen through the ranks to occupy high offices.
Oh...alright ! We've had a couple of Major Generals ourselves but they've almost entirely belonged to the Educational, Medical or Administrative wings of the Army ! I wonder why we don't induct women....they've proved their prowess in Israel many times over and I'm not entirely sure that they are physically ill-suited for combat !
There are many reasons cited, one of them being cultural prejudices - many men would be uncomfortable taking orders from a woman. (That is a bogus excuse in my opinion, they should just learn to deal with it.) But there are other factors that cannot be ignored, like how to ensure safety of women from harassment. Again, these things should go eventually and women who are fit enough for combat duties should be allowed to do so in my opinion. But that is not going to happen any time soon.
Yeah but shouldn't the same concerns (albeit a bit tempered down) be raised when it comes to women being in the Paramilitary Forces. If we can make it work for one, I'm sure with the right amount of safeguards (accountability and discipline being the biggest), we should be able to make it work. I mean we've got women, here in Pakistan, engaged in combat roles in everything from Police Units to some of the specialist Anti-Terrorism Units in Punjab; and they'd probably make me squeal like a girl if I (or any other man) ever tried to harass them ! So I don't know if there is much logic behind disallowing women to be active in combat or is it ,instead, truly one of the conundrums of the male chauvinistic society that we find ourselves in ?
Most of the reasons for not allowing women in combat are because of the male chauvinistic culture. Concerns of how to make a large number of men and women share the same living space (housing, toilets etc) in wartime conditions, how to ensure that the women don't suffer harassment from male colleagues etc. (I'm sure even a trained female engineer in the army can make a civilian regret it if he takes liberties with her, but what if its other trained soldiers who harass her?) But the reason most often cited is the inescapable fact that a huge percentage of the jawans come from a rural background, and would find it difficult culturally to take orders from a woman officer. For that to change, society has to change.
I guess it's different in the paramilitaries, because (at least in India) they only do policing duties (with some exceptions). Also, it is easy to have an all woman unit in the BSF, but you can't expect that in the army - if you are asked to reinforce another unit, you can't say no because that unit is a different gender.
medal for gun down un armed men with a cell phone and a sim good man u have hell of a women force they surely serve india in time of battle if we would not come with guns
