Women in Indian Army

One piece of news(in the midst of all the tension in the country right now), that made my heart skip,was the announcement that women would now be eligible for Permanent Commission in the Indian Army.After almost 20 years of experimentation with different modes of employing women, the Indian Army has finally opened its doors to women beyond the Short Service Commission, making them at par with men in the services..almost...because it is still non combative..may be some day The Indian Army would open that front too..just hope this time it does not take 20 years.
