Over 2 lakh women apply for 100 jawan posts

逾20万印度女性申请参军，名额仅100个

NEW DELHI: Given half a chance, women would jump at joining the armed forces in far larger numbers, even as jawans for the first time. They are even gung-ho about combat roles, like the six women fighter pilots undergoing training in the IAF have proven in the battle against entrenched mindsets.

新德里：只要有机会，女性就会踊跃申请入伍，即使申请人数远远超过招募人数。这些女性甚至青睐作战角色，在印度空军接受训练的六名女飞行员在与根深蒂固的观念的斗争中证明了自己的能力。

Yet another glass-ceiling in the 15-lakh strong armed forces is all set to be shattered soon, with over two lakh young girls applying online for just 100 vacancies for women jawans in the Corps of Military Police (CMP).

然而，150万军队中的另一个无形障碍即将被打破，超过20万名年轻女孩在网上申请加入宪兵部队(CMP)，名额仅100个。

The armed forces till now have inducted women only as officers, and kept them firmly away from serving on board warships and submarines as well as joining "fighting arms" in the Army like infantry, armoured corps and artillery.

到目前为止，军队只招募女性作为军官，并坚决禁止她们在军舰和潜艇上服役，禁止加入步兵、装甲部队和炮兵等作战队伍。

"Recruitment of women as soldiers (general duty) in the CMP is a path-breaking step. With over two lakh women registering online since April 25, the recruitment rally is now slated to be held at Belgaum before this month-end," he said.

一名高级军官表示：“招募女性士兵(普通职务)是开创性的一步。自4月25日以来，已有超过20万名女性在网上申请，这次招募集会将于本月底前在贝尔高姆举行。”

The Army plans to induct 1,700 women in the PBOR (personnel below officer rank) category in the CMP in a phased manner over the next 17 years.

印度陆军计划在未来17年分阶段招收1700名妇女，担任宪兵部队的PBOR(军官以下人员)职务。

This is certainly true. Women can serve on warships in many countries ranging from Malaysia and Singapore to Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Women in the US serve even on nuclear submarines with ballistic missiles. Much before India, there have been women fighter pilots in several countries like the US, Russia, Turkey and Pakistan.

从马来西亚、新加坡到斯里兰卡和孟加拉国，许多国家的女性都可以在军舰上服役。在美国，女性甚至在携带弹道导弹的核潜艇上服役。早在印度之前，美国、俄罗斯、土耳其和巴基斯坦等国就有女战斗机飞行员。
