Landmark ruling grants women equal rights in Indian army

The judgment, seen as a landmark decision for the Indian military, means that all women will now be eligible for the same promotions, ranks, benefits and pensions as their male counterparts, irrespective of their years of service or whether they had retired.Female officers have long campaigned for this change, which will allow them to serve a full tenure and achieve a higher rank, with greater salary and leadership potential.

"Women officers must deal with pregnancy, motherhood and domestic obligations towards their children and families and may not be well suited to the life of a soldier in the armed forces," the central government stated.The court said that the government's arguments were based on discriminatory gender stereotypes, and rejected their plea to overturn a 2010 Delhi high court order on the same policy.

Brilliant

Except if they're muslim. Then they'll get stripped of their citizenship instead.

The problem is sometimes women themselves, and not discrimination against them. This we see in our reality

Sometimes bitter pills are also needed to FIX chronic diseases.

Create social pressure where people would feel guilty conscience after having Smoking, Alcohol, Drug, PORN, Premarital Sex and Extramarital Affairs. They must lose the respect from children, family and friends.

Thanks to Trump.

Very good，男女平等

🤠

Excellent! Now about that ERA... it is time!!

Sad to say easier targets...🤔

It will be years, possibly a decade or more, before these changes are fully implemented in the “minds” of the military patriarchy, but congratulations to the women of India!! 🎉 It’s a great start!

However these Indian Army Hindu women will not be allowed to cook foods and to visit temples during their periods like all other Hidu women as prohibited in Hindutva

Thank you Mr. Trump ...

Are they going front line ax well?

Amen to that

Wow, the hypocrisy of BIASED and andersoncooper was clearly on display when hypocrite andersoncooper of propaganda show AC360 cursed by saying bullshit on air. Yet when realDonaldTrump said it he was widely criticized. The media hypocrisy continue to create division.

Don’t care

One step towards equality but two steps back to violence ...

When will indian army eradicate the caste system!!! And give the soldiers better pay and food....I think most suicides armed forces are in US and India

I cannot wait until the rest of the oligarchy country catches up. Their culture only treats women like pieces of meat.

It's about time! Women's lives are just as important as men's lives. My mother was a woman and a very deserving person. Very!

Now they'll have the same opportunity to be ignored when they're raped as US women do

So they treated female soldiers, badly, differently?

This is historic & welcomed!

👍 exactly

This is a wake up call!

It’s historic Credit to Highest Judiciary in India not The Government Led by Modi Indian Women r very Competitive Verses Men in Every Field of Activity

Goodness, it’s only 2020..

👍

WOW , yay for woman, Now what ? they can die on equality ? Focusing on the wrong point here. War is bad. No woman or man should be forced to fight anyone. Politics again.

👍

About time we only in 2020

Nigeria how far

India is phobic. Why do they only allow 2 genders?

Great news

Yea!!! They are a step ahead of Trumps military!!!

Now THAT makes 100% sense and AND its fair and just

What about the other 130 genders that the left made up?

👍👍👍

This is a step in the right direction! rashtrapatibhvn PMOIndia

Wait even India is more progressive than the United States?

Supreme Court of India and the BJP government are two different school of thoughts. Supreme Court also ordered that Muslims of India are its citizens but the RSS says they will buried all Muslims alive. They have similar opinion for women at work force

JeniferLewis Lord. America could NEVER!

But CNN will never tell you that Iran government still stone gays/lesbians to death and hang gays too, jail women without scarf, doesn't allow women to do the same work men are doing, the same Iran is loved more by democrats and their corrupt media than India

Nidhipa opps now will you condemn this ruling of your court, which says Women are equal to man even in Army ?
