TIL our ships are patriarchal.

"These evil men are stopping us from equal employment opportunities. We want to go to war, but we don't want to die. Dying is for expendable men." Mkay.gif.

The gormint itself is lobbying for it. Let them come out and say that it is all for vote bank politics. Why make it sound like the men have withheld those jobs from women out of selfish motives and the gormint is some sort of liberator who ensured/or tried to make sure equality prevailed. Let...

The gormint has fallen victim to their own narrative hence the need for the nautanki. They themselves fanned the flames of women empowerment in the name of votes, now the flame has been flamed and flames have no logic. It will consume the person who flamed it, if it has to. Now each...

Also LTTE had a big women's combat wing and Subhash Chandra Bose's INA had Jhansi brigade. The women of INA gave up their gold ornaments for the sake of the army and joined the force knowing that there is no guarantee of winning the war. That breed of women was groomed in a different set of...

They are in BSF too. These are not ceremonial posts. There's a real risk to life and limb. And they are also deployed as part of UN missions in troubled African states : Delhi commandos : Where from does the narrative of being excluded from combat duties does Barkha and her clan come...

Really good template. Problem solved, just like that :) Someone who was serious about this debate would bring out those exact points, but the representatives who have usurped the right to represent females (aka. Barkha) didn't have that in mind. All they wanted was a new dead horse to beat...

Seems like the gay rights thread leaked into this one. I support women in combat.

Don't tempt people otherwise bisexuals will start becoming terrorists. Unlimited gay sex on the ground and unlimited sex with hoors in jannat. What's not to like :D

There's an entire village called "Patton nagar" where these tanks were captured during live action in war. The moment India received intel of incoming tanks, they filled a farmland with water and created a marsh land and lured Paki tanks into that marsh and their tanks got stuck. The moment a...

In 1965, Paki tank operators used to open their tank hatches and run away for fear of being burnt (which makes their Jannat ticket null and void). They had the better quality Patton tank given by their dear friend Murica. But they couldn't hold on to their seats. When the Indian army realized...

A person thinks and acts the way their communities groomed them to think. The natural behavior does not deviate much from the natural wavelength his community operates under. This is why cultures and communities exist. No point pretending to ignore the pattern of behavior and treating everyone...

"Boycott such news channels." Maybe the Army chief can benefit from that advice as well. Why give interviews to such channels when we have DD, LSTV, RSTV, WION, social media. Gen. V.P Malik also blamed Barkha Dutt but he was the one who let her on the battlefield.

"I don't necessarily approve of the statement. But he is the Army Chief. He might have been talking about his troops. But that's not true." - Def min. So even she singled him out?

The gist of the whole debate basically...

He could have dodged it or set the agenda for the interview before hand. Just make it clear that certain things are in the realm of civilian policy makers and hence the Army chief defers to the elected leaders to make that call and shall not answer questions on gender roles or AFSPA.

Do today's women live by the same moral code as Lakshmibai? She was a different product from a different time. Moral values have deteriorated over successive generations. During the Indian independence, women gave up their stree-dhan (gold bangles, mangalsutra etc) to fund the Azad Hind Fauj. As...

Also, the chief should have avoided this conversation altogether. Knowing very well that such interviews do not involve the exchange of facts, rather just opinions, a person who has credible facts is at a disadvantage. In that case, it is better to avoid that debate than allowing the interviewer...

Can't Give Women Combat Roles, There Will be Ruckus When Maternity Leave is Denied: Army Chief Bipin Rawat https://www.news18.com/news/india/women-will-complain-jawans-peep-into-hut-when-she-changes-clothes-if-given-combat-role-army-chief-bipin-rawat-1974249.html

Bose's INA also had women infantry soldiers in the Jhansi brigade. Deep respect for these ladies. No one forced them to come. They came at will and risked their lives for the nation. Women have also participated in infantry roles in Mukti Bahini, LTTE, Naxals, FARC rebels. It's not new for...
