Women in the Indian Armed Forces: Scope and limitation

Abstract

The Defence forces career is treated as dominated bastion for male but with the pace of time women had shown extreme courage & spirit in different walks of life & political mighty as well as red ribbon bearing top generals were forced to rethink about induction of women in non-combat role & after analysing their performance, combat entry is also knocking the door for them. Recently, three women were inducted into fighter pilot cadre just for experimentation into Air Force & trio had come with sparking enthusiasm & good flying report & likely to open door for rest who are in legitimate hope. Delhi H.C. decision in Kush kalra on 5^th Jan 18 may be a benchmark for women into olive dress profession.
