Hello, Mr Bhadra.
I am quite taken aback at your thoughts.
Correct me if I am interpreting this incorrectly:
You are implying that a lady officer ( by officer I mean any rank ) will not be safe in an Indian defence unit in which the majority are male? There is going to be constant sexual harassment ( re your comment about attraction of female form)?
Similarly, in the battlefield scenario in case of trauma, the male colleague will be guided more by his instincts of being 'male' rather than being a colleague helping out his fellow trooper? Sex/the female form ( cannot be respect if that same female colleague has been subject to sexual harassment during peace time )would be foremost on his mind in battlefield conditions? He will let his fellow trooper die?
If this is true, then indeed we are a depraved society
We are a developed Society ... yes... that is why we are not naked aboriginals and have acquired civilizational instincts of selection, use of power and force of all kinds, restrictions, and prohibition and governed by laws which are not necessarily based on natural alignments but artificial constructs based on stratification, divisions, power play and subjugation - simply meaning we are a society..
Hence we have cases of theft, murder, abduction, rape, sexual harassments, eve teasing, abnormal behavior, sexual abnormality - all artificially acquired traits conditioned by society and environments. That is why females need protection in all societies howsoever advanced it mighty be. The Western experiments on free sex has miserably failed to liberate humans out of Freudian and societal traps... that have placed woman as a commodity in all respect.
Army organizations are not another office or Osho's Satsang but have physicality as a major component of functional routine. There is a difference between all women's outfits and mixed outfits. Still, the requirement of physicality is so different in front line combat units and other units.
People outside do not understand it, The commanding officer of a unit where a lady officer is posted is in a fix - she needs a separate room, separate bathroom, a separate personal setup which is always not available. Imagine an Engineer unit that is ordered to Ladakh .. there is nothing there - not even a barrack for a new unit. The CO of that unit having lady officers is in a fix now... on top of that the new weird feminist laws ensure that the Commanding officer will do anything to protect his job by protecting this lady officer rather than focus on his profession. ... Bhad men Jaye profession...
Doctor / Nurses is psychologically and mentally at a different level. By her professional ethos, she would have no hesitation and problem in examining the genital of all male soldiers standing in a line as part of medical examination or otherwise nor soldiers would be hesitant in doing so.
We are not US Army where the Army contractors to establish living containers and cookhouse land at a place much before the unit arrives.. We are the Indian Army where arctic tents for Ladakh are required to be imported that will take minimum three months. The country especially the MoD treats soldiers so badly..
Police units can still afford it because wherever they go, they can get a school vacated, barge into a hotel or a community center, vacate a govt building ... not so with Army..
So the conditions of service in frontline units is not amenable to the employment of woman combatants.... Police forces who have women constables have registered the highest cases of sexual abuses and woman police combatants being used as Ayas,, Let us see the ground realities..
