One should give a chance to women because she can do much more better than men. We always ignore women's ability may be this is because we are living in a man dominated society but let me clear that no one has right to stop women for what she want to do. No constitution have given the right to suppress any woman, to any person of the country not even prime minister.

I'm totally against the statement that women should not join defense services. Why the doors are closed before a girl if she wants to join defense? women are equally powerful as men. They too wants to serve nation through defense.

Actually it gives a girl more self confidence and a different kind of power. She would be given more respect in the society. It is a matter of pride for a nation to show that our country is not behind in women power. Actually I'm also a girl who wants to join defense services. My parents are also supporting me.

Women are actually fit for everything. On the grounds of learning or participating every individual posses equal opportunity. If a women can endure the pain of giving birth to a child then being a part of defense service for her shouldn't be thought as unfit-able for her. According to a survey it is experimentally proved that women are more powerful then men. Hence, we should not challenge the ability of one's on the footing of gender.

Hi everybody.

I am also in the favour that women are must be treated equally. It is in our constitution. So any women who wants to join in Indian army must be supported. It is the rumour that women is weaker than men but it is not correct in all stuffs. You can also imagine that when a pregnant lady give birth to his children she have to face pain which is 2.5 times greater than a pain that any human can tolerate.

So you can say that women can tolerate more pain than men. So women must have the right to join Indian defence service. But in India our women also do not want to join defense service but if she wants to join you must not stop her. And I think a law is also made for women who wants to join Indian defense service.

Thanking you.

Women are really capable for join defense services. No doubt about it. They have ability to work day and night and any situation, We really proud to our Indian brave women's actually Indian defense overhaul not just enemies but weather extremities as well they fight two battles, one against the enemies of the state and one which is fought adverse world most extreme unconditional inclement weather which is one of the most dangerous critical place Siachen Glacier is located in 5.7 km above sea level.

The average winter snowfall 1000 cm and temperature can dip into 59 degree and other side extremely hot weather temperature shoot upto 60 degree with dust storm in Rajasthan border. Our country covered by terrorist and enemies And Indian defense force has played a major role in executing several rescue operation in mega disaster like tsunami, Kedarnath, Mumbai 26/11, earthquake till now our brave army sacrificing their life without exception.

So now women also showing interested in joining defense. My conclusion is man or women everyone would be treated equally and also give them equal chance to develop individually.

Women's are not fit for defense services this is wrong because they have also capacity to do very well. In present generation some non educated parents kill women at their birth because they think women are not good for their family. But some people or parents accept women because they said at birth Lakshmi is come in their house they celebrated everywhere. So we say all people to accept women. If they do any work in company, in defense, etc they do their work very properly as compare to men.

Women's are definitely fit for defense they secured our country by giving our life. Eg: In the TV serial like serial Diya Aur Bati Ham. In that TV serial the common women Sandhaiya Rathi with their practices they become the big IPS officer. So in last we say women's are definitely fit for defense services.

Hi friends,

After reading the discussion thread, I can see the following main points.

1. Women should be provided equal rights.

I agree but Constitutionally and manipulatively they possess more than that today.

2. Women are physically weak.

Not true, women are naturally stronger in weight lifting capacity. That's another story that majority is not interested in physical fitness.

3. Mental sharpness.

They are at par if not lower, can be seen in day to day life.

4. Quality of Armed Forces might get lowered.

Only if Skill measurement criteria are relaxed like it is now in case of Reservation Quotas, Or in non defense fields where being a girl has an advantage of extra points in competitive examinations.

5. Men might get pushed to war fields with women using their gender in getting office postings away from war zones.

This is indeed one big possibility, like Quota units and personnel with links to high posts, although Army personnel can shed better light on this. In Civilian Industries, it is pretty visible how easy it is for a female (exceptions are always there).

Trends of neglect towards males is becoming more evident with all the perks being diverted for fairer gender, may it be scholarships or jobs. Yes, jealousy towards females is also rising because of their rise out of ditches but it is also true that males get much more manipulated by females in work places or any Co-ed institution.

A coin has two sides, generalizing an individual incident is not rational but so is the case with neglecting general incidents occurring all around. Male fraternity is not mature enough to see through the deceit played by opposite gender because of the long absence of females from open playing turfs and that coupled with jealousy creates a hostile environment.

Women should be recruited in the Indian armed forces. It should be a matter of respect that women are looking forward to seek such opportunities, to work for the country. It is a matter of fact that they are less stronger than men in terms of physical fitness, but what if they are made that capable of looking at the worst side of defense services such as wars, deaths, etc.

A woman is as much aspirant to do such jobs as men are. Let their efforts spell success is all an Indian woman aspires. From ages, women have put forth there efforts in Warfiels, for eg - Razia Sultan, Rani Laxmibai, are such great women. Every woman is not great as them but they can be great in fields as such logistics, administration, medical etc. According to the law, they equally share the law of equality, so the recruitment equality in varied defense branches must be equal.

As the above conversations say, men are most deserving. But if we consider about a family, it is incomplete without a woman. Similarly, a defense family is incomplete if there's no woman. Women are least deserving as they claim but they can be made capable to hold the terms of lieutenant, captain etc, and work accordingly. Proud to be a woman!

Hi Sir, I like your discussion! Yes, it really makes sense. But I guess nobody here is being feminist or whatever from your comment, it is clear that you know a lot about the life in army. Your knowledge is awesome!

You have claimed in your third paragraph that under certain common conditions (in army) , 95% of women faint. Okay let us admit that most probably you are absolutely right. But we are talking about the rest 5%. What about them? I think they should be in army. (I totally respect everybody's views).
