Why Indian Army twice rejected TN engineer who has now picked up arms for Ukraine

印度军队曾两次拒绝泰米尔纳德邦一工程师的入伍申请，现在他拿起武器为乌克兰而战

Sainikhesh Ravichandran, a 21-year-old from Thudaliyur in Coimbatore, is the first Indian to have joined Ukrainians against Russia. Reports say he has joined a paramilitary unit of volunteers in Ukraine. His family informed intelligence officers that Ravichandran nurtured a passion to join the armed forces. He had been rejected by the Indian Army twice due to his height. He also reportedly enquired with the American consulate in Chennai to join the US military but that also did not work out.

21岁的塞尼赫什·拉文昌德兰来自哥印拜陀的图达利尤尔，他是第一个加入乌克兰对抗俄军的印度人。有报道称他加入了乌克兰的志愿军。他的家人告诉情报官员，拉文昌德有从军的热情。由于身高原因，他曾两次被印度军队拒绝。据报道，他还向美国驻金奈领事馆询问是否可以加入美军，但也没有成功。

以下是Youtube上印度网民的评论：

i come from a family which has been serving for last 3 generations , both my maternal and my paternal sides have been serving but i was rejected 5 times ..

我家3代人从军，而我参军被拒绝了5次。

I was very keen on joining IAF. As fate would have it, I inherited myopia  and couldn't. Guys, not all people are lucky in life to pursue their dreams, have a comfortable life. Height, vision, good looks, supporting parents, rich background are something we inherit, we do not make it out ourselves. So, stop mocking this man who is keen on being in service as a fighter.

我渴望加入印度空军，但我遗传了近视，参军被拒绝。

伙计们，不是所有的人都能幸运地实现自己的梦想，不是所有人都能过上舒适的生活。

身高、视力、美貌、父母的支持、雄厚的背景都是与生俱来的，而不是我们自己创造出来的。

别再嘲笑这个想当兵的印度人了

Shivam malik

He had been rejected by army recruitment due to rules not their personal hatred for him. But now, by the end of the days, he (as a militia) maybe killed by the bullet of Russian soldier and Indian agency can deny to accept him since he is working against the foreign policy of India where we (India as well as Indians) chose to be neutral.

他被军队拒之门外是因为不符合规定，不是针对他。

现在他(作为一个民兵)可能被俄军打死，印度机构可以拒绝接受他，因为他违背了印度的外交政策，我们印度选择了中立。

Dr Anant Rai

He is so fascinated to become an army man that he accepted the present opportunity.

他很想成为一名军人，抓住了现在这个机会。

His Passion was just to get into an Army  irrespective of its affiliation.

(Tried in India - failed, tried in US - failed, now went and finally ended up in Ukraine as a Volunteer/mercenary ).

Good thing they didn't accept him in our Army.

他只是想从军，不考虑是服役哪个军队。(在印度尝试过，失败了，在美国尝试过，失败了，最后在乌克兰当了志愿者/雇佣兵)。还好印度军队没招他。
