firstly, neha you really deserve:
👏
👏
👏
👏
for starting such a great discussion 👍🏼

now, while i understand that more harm can come to a woman than a man at the hands of the enemy .... but that just means that there needs to be better training to help teach women soldiers how to get themselves out of these situations ..... technically the kind of "abuse" we're talking about can happen in any job .... it can happen out in the open on neighbourhood streets but that doesn't stop women from venturing out in the world .....

sorry but i truly feel that women can make good soldiers .... women may lack physical strength but at the same time they make up for that with their emotional strength .... we all know how much women are able to take emotionally .... (i'm not saying that men can't take emotional stress .... but like both capt rajveer and capt abhimanyu have said .... its about how much you can take .... and when it comes to handling the mental trauma of warfare .... women may have an upper hand at dealing with it since they are often better able to express their feelings)

and neha .... you said that there no women in the army in reality ..... 😕 .... yes there are .... my best friends cousin - who's a girl - is in the united states navy .... and the indian army does have female officers ... in the OTA (officers training academy) they have spots for female officers and they deploy them as well

Thanks Di 😊 😊 😊 😊.Thanks for claryfing about my doubts too😊.Whatever you've said is correct 👏and I completely agree to it.

You don't need to say sorry.Your points are absolutely correct.If we work hard,then definately we'll become good soldiers.After all "Where there's a will there is a way".😊

Welcome to our forum.

Ya we need to be serious.If we'll not take our aim seriously,then how will we achieve it.??

oh plzzz only a stupid serial cannot prove gals not eligible for being a soldier....and in lrl not only gals but the whole of academy is shown insignificant and gud for nothing...waise bhi agar aise logo ko army me liya jane laga to gals kya koi bhi desh ko nahi bacha payega...and its old news that gals cant joing army.....nowdays lods of gals do join army althought thee are mot given duties on border but still they do....and if u wanna believe on soaps only and want to get prove thru tht then i suggest u to watch soaps like arohan starring pallavi joshi...it was based on women in indian navy n hhad show clear pic of army and its life including gals in army...my point is only that we do have many better source of judging role of women in indian army rather thn left right left...its only a frictious stry..narreted according to the will of writer n produicer in order to get TRPs and can never be taken for real army thng....

i c many ppl are questioning phisical ability of women.....but i think u guys are forgetting tht most of the countries appoint women as their spy as its easy for thm to hide in disguise...so do u think its not risky..there also women get caught nd are tourtured...inspite of this we have many g8 examples of women being among famous n suceesful spies....so its not question of gender or nay thing....wht matters is ur will power determination and patriotism......

i dont mean to hurt any one but felt like shud present my views on this topic...plzzz forgive me if ny one has been hurt by my post..buthonestly i didnt meant ny offece these r purely my point of view

well said varu.............u r absolutely right.....women can become soldiers.........and plzz ppl should not even consider naina and pooja as soldiers.......god knows what they are......but definitely not soldiers...................if u have grit , determination and confidence in yourself, no one can stop u..........society has taboos on these but there are many brave women who have defied all these taboos and done our country proud..............we salute them all and respect them from the core of our hearts!!!!!!!!!!!

I donot take serials so seriously that it will affect my way of thinking..But yes Major Nair's character is not fictional.In real life also there are Major Nairs who criticise every girl,whenever they want to move ahead.

I have not asked this question by referring to LRL,but because it happens in real life.Due to lack of physical strength girls are dominated.In metrolpolitian cities like Mumbai girls are free to choose between their career or personal life,but in other cities nobody cares for their career,but marriage..

Sorry I have gone out of track,but what I want to say is I donot believe in soaps.I believe in reality.You know my friends say that I am a girl,so I cannot join army because I lack physical strength.But I believe that if my will power is strong,why can't I do.If we are determined enough then definately nobody can stop us from becoming successful soldiers..

You have not offended anyone,so plz don't say sorry..I really appreciate your views..

hey m nt getting serious or agreesive but was just trying to justify my self...i no major nair like ppl exist in real life as well who try to dominate women....but also there exists lods of women who had been successfully proved thm wrong

i no that peple from small towns are still orthodox when it comes to women...

but u no here also plls exist wo giv their daughters freedom to do what ever the want to do...like me am from bihar...but my parents hav never stopped me from deciding my career or life...even today when i wanna join army they r supporting me...they support me n hav never tried to dominate me.... so wht i was saying is that in this world there exist all kind of ppl...many who support u...many who criticise u n many who dominate u...but u can win over alll only by ur...determinaton and will power.......

we hav example of kiran bedi...in her batch she was the only women who opted for ips...still she completed her training very successfully...even had leaded all other men in republic day's parade...n as we all no that today she is one of the most successful ips of our country n hav successfully played the role of piloce advisor in United Nations....

so its not right to say that women cant do such job as there r many who can do it...
