(An Open Letter by a Soldier who happens to be a Women) @Majornithicj
Amongst the many debates on the recent Nari Shakti theme for Republic Day Parade, one debate has been on the representation of Women in the armed forces.
A very interesting video is also making rounds where in Women Officers expressed their thoughts on why feminism has nothing to do with the Army.
Physical capabilities are usually the debate between the two different opinions (for and against) Women in the Army.
Today I make an attempt to give a deeper perspective on ROLE OF WOMEN IN MILITARY LEADERSHIP.
1. THE PHYSICAL STANDARDS PARADOX. This argument has shaped in some of the most weird ways. Comparing the differences in the physical standards to different armies and with the same differences in sports. Both are superficial research. The structure of Defence forces of any nation are demanded by its national and strategic interests, thus, defence interests are also different. While we do take case studies and references from different armies it's irrational to expect a square peg to fit in a round hole!
2. THE SELECTION PROCESS. No one and everyone! Let me explain this with the example of the selection process in the Army through one specific entry of Combined Defence Services Examination. There are different vacancies for Women and Men in the Army. However, the exam paper, the Services Selection Board interview are the same! Now talking of the physical standards, they remain same for both genders in the SSB interview. Same obstacles, same timings, etc.
3. ASSUMED LOWER STANDARDS FOR WOMEN IN TRAINING. In the training, this difference occurs, different timings, a 9 ft ditch for men and a 6ft ditch for women, but no difference comes in training of the battle drills and procedures or in war tactics. The minuscule differences are in things WHERE IT IS NEGOTIABLE and NOT in the LARGER NON-NEGOTIABLE part of the training. P.S. Not all men also pass the tests in the best timings and there are women who sometimes perform better than men!
Q : Who will receive the 2023 International Prize in Statistics, the equivalent to the Nobel Prize in the field?किसको सांख्यिकी में 2023 का अंतर्राष्ट्रीय पुरस्कार मिलेगा, जो इस क्षेत्र में नोबेल पुरस्कार के बराबर है?

WHY ARMY IS NOT THE SPACE FOR VOICING FEMINISM?
