In my opinion, women are fit for every service a man can do, But involving her really in defence sector is not good in my opinion.

There are various fields in which women are doing great but in defence when there is peace women are good but in war there are casualties and being a man I cannot see a women die for her country for our country, Its man's responsibility to protect his nation, although its up to her that she wants to fight for her country but still I don't like it.

A famous quote-.

"Battle get ugly when women are involved".

Hello everyone, A very good evening to all of you.

This is Ajay kumar today my topic is women are not fit for defense services, I think in my point of view, it is absolutely wrong because as we all know that women has also ability to fight with the enemy and they also have a much strength as compared to the boys and they are also fearless in nature, by giving power this is also called as women empowerment.

Thank you.

As it is rightly said that when a man is educated and empowered he is educated for himself but when a woman is educated and empowered there education can bring changes in the whole family and society. People used to think earlier that girls cannot do physical activities but you can see the most tiring physical activities are done by the women in our families. So they are never less than any male. As far as strength and endurance are concerned the pain they can endure can't be endured by a male as during pregnancy they endure pain which is equivalent to breaking of 36 bones at the same time.

So we cannot say that women are any less than men. We should neither sympathize nor should we discriminate to women. Everyone should be given equal chance in the recruitment process and if he or she is capable then that person without any doubt be given the responsibility of the job either it is any sector.

Earlier girls were not allowed to go out of their homes and play and if this would have been the case today we would not have got the medals in the last Olympics. We all know that the last Olympics were dominated by Indian women athletes. I want to ask those who are against women's participation in defense, doesn't sports require physical strength. Yes, it does.

Our society is shaped by our economy. We required women in IT sector we opened doors for them, whenever we needed them in any particular field we welcomed them and talked about women empowerment but why don't we talk about their empowerment in defense. Don't we need them there?

As an engineer, I want to say that when we develop some product we also want to have women engineers in our team so that while designing we don't miss the advice and creativity of half of our population. We can only prosper when half of our population is given equal opportunity and they have their representation in every field. We respect both one who stays at home and take care of us and one who goes out and fight and stay strong in this make dominant society.

In my opinion, I disagree to this statement because there are so many women are intelligent compared to men and they can handle if they do work in defense but if we are talking about for lower post in defense so I think they can't suitable for that because men have physical strength compare to women.

Conclusion: Women can be good for higher posts.

According to me, there should not be any gender partiality in any sector whether it is an army or any other service sector. Whether the person fits for a post of an army will totally depend on the person itself and not on the gender. If a person is physically and mentally fit for the position, there should not be any room for doubt in his/her capabilities. Inequalities arises when a eligible women haven't been given that opportunity.

I totally respect the recent decision made by the supreme court of India in respect of women in army. I hope It will be proved as a great step and will able to break all gender-stereotypes.

Yeah, women are fit for defense. But I think they should prove themselves amongst men as well. I mean there should not be any different types of recruitment for women. There should be only one type of recruitment process in which both of them and will participate regardless of their gender they prove their capabilities and get selected so at the end when they get selected they shouldn't say women have easy recruitment process so they get selected easy and aren't fit as men are. Likewise in defense service, no one should be discriminated against on the base of caste, gender. Only the capable humans should stand then and then only that particular defense force will have perfection.

Women these days proves her in every field such as doctors, surgeons, pilot, entrepreneur, civil services etc they work not only for the money but also to walk with the men and face drastic society which against women.

Coming to the topic I personally believe that any woman can be done anything for their loved ones if she is dedicated and courageous towards the country then she's definitely a good army member but if she's not then it is worthless to join.

And somehow there are proper criteria, and eligibility which is required for this particular field one handicapped person can't be a part of army.

I am giving you certain example of a woman IAS office namely IRA Singhal she is physically handicapped and she's is an IAS officer from this example I am trying to tell all a few you are that criteria of every field play an important role while choosing it.

And lastly, I am giving you an example of Hima Das, Mithali Raj, P.T. Usha, Sania Mirza, Indra Nooyi, Sindhu all are work for the country welfare so if anyone can serve for the country it can be any form.

Women has to be mentally and medically fit as per the criteria.

Being woman in itself is a great achievement. There is hardly any field which is entirely for women or entirely for men. It's the society's views regarding women which makes us discuss such very questions about "if women are fit for army or not". My question to such a society is that what makes a girl any less than a boy? Surely the two genders have a different construct altogether, but combination of both is required to make any field excel in itself. There exists a very less percentage of girls in the Indian armed forces, this is mainly because our society is setting bogus standards and illogical rules for the women to abide by and teaching our girls "learned helplessness". I use this term because our society thinks that protecting the so-called "second gender" (women) unnecessarily is a very crucial thing to do in order to prove the masculinity of the so-called "first gender" (men) and their first place on this very land. By doing so we are spoiling our female generation by letting them accept the dependency upon the society for their very existence. Being a girl I accept that I need to lift heavy stuff, do the repairing of petty items and also be ready to help my parents and my country financially and emotionally whenever they need me. Answering this question, I also want to pose the same answer to other questions of inequality on the basis of gender as well. It is this difference because of which we celebrate women's day. The day when there would be absolute equality, we would not need such a day. We females are distinct from males in our qualities and what I know is, where one quality of male might not fit suitably, the quality of the female would do wonders at the same place and vice versa. Girls have the equal right to serve their nation as any boy might wish. After all, we all were given the same body of a human being, the difference was created by the mere choice of this society.

Women are fit for Defense Services because there is no field where women aren't working whether it's hospital, school, college or space. We are living in 21st century so we don't have any question in our mind. And the main thing is that we should always motivate others.

Women can do whatever she wants.

In women, there is a power of men, there is no difference between boys n girls nowadays women doing all those things which men can't do in there whole life, one mother can fulfil the requirements of the father but father can't Same as a mother.

In every field, women are doing a very great role (ie. Cricket, astronaut, pilot, politics etc).
