Army women break another glass ceiling

印度女军官又打破了一个玻璃天花板

NEW DELHI: Five women officers from "combat-support arms" have for the first time been cleared for promotion to the rank of Colonel (time-scale) in the Army after completing 26 years of service like their male counterparts.

新德里：五名来自“战斗支援部队”的女军官在服役26年后，首次获准晋升为陆军上校。

The Army on Monday cleared the promotion of Lieutenant Colonels Sangeeta Sardana (Corps of Signals), Sonia Anand and Navneet Duggal (Corps of Electronics and Mechanical Engineers), and Reenu Khanna and Ritcha Sagar (Corps of Engineers) to the Colonel (time-scale) rank.

周一陆军宣布，陆军中校Sangeeta Sardana、Sonia Anand和Navneet Duggal(电子和机械工程部队)，以及Reenu Khanna和Ritcha Sagar(工程部队)晋升为上校。

An officer becomes a "selection-grade" Colonel in around 15-17 years. The "passed over" male officers become Colonel (time-scale) after completing 26 years of service.

一名军官在大约15-17年后成为“选拔级”上校。男性军官在完成26年服役后可晋升为上校。

The promotion of the five women officers is the outcome of a Supreme Court order to the 13-lakh strong Army last year to end gender bias and grant permanent commission (PC) to women officers in eight more branches, in addition to previously exsting legal and education wings. Consequently, the Army has till now granted PC to 424 of the 615 short-service commission (SSC) women officers (who can only serve for a maxmum of 14 years) eligible for it.

这5名女军官的晋升是最高法院去年向陆军下达一项命令的结果，该命令旨在结束性别偏见，并在先前存在的法律和教育部门之外，再授予8个部门的女军官常设委员会(PC)资格。因此，到目前为止，陆军已经授予了615名短期服役委员会(SSC)女军官(她们最多只能服役14年)中的424名PC资格。

The Supreme Court had last week also allowed women to take the exam for the tri-Service National Defence Academy this year.

上周，最高法院还批准女性参加今年三军国防学院的考试。

Women officers, excluding the medical stream, number just about 1,650 in the 43,000-strong officer cadre in the Army. Till now, women officers could reach the rank of Colonel only in the medical, legal and education streams.

在陆军43000多名军官干部中，除了医疗人员外，女军官只有1650人左右。到目前为止，女军官只有在医疗、法律和教育领域才能晋升至上校军衔。

If there is kargil war again Can the nation depend on these 5 colonels to defend us??. Who will feel safe under them? The judges sit in ivory tower they don’t understand life.

如果再爆发一次卡吉尔战争，国家能依靠这5个上校来保卫我们吗？

有谁会觉得安全呢？

法官们坐在象牙塔里，他们不懂现实的残酷。

Government and Judicial system of India both turning a blindfolded supporter of feminists.

印度政府和司法系统都变成了女权主义者的盲目支持者。

bodh ramdeo

Misogynists and male chauvinists are afraid their patriarchal, paternalistic, male-dominated world will come tumbling down if women allowed their rights.

厌恶女性者和大男子主义者担心，如果赋予女性权利，他们男性主导的世界将会崩溃。

Abhijit Sharma

Women in army are good for nothing. For feminist equality means opportunity, salary, promotion, pension but never in work or risk. Can this women combat with jihadi mujhadeein or Chinese. Wastage of people's tax.

印度军队里的女人一无是处。对女权主义者来说，平等意味着机会、薪水、晋升和养老金一样的待遇，但绝不意味着工作或风险相当。女人能和圣战分子战斗吗，能和中国人战斗吗？

Semms like you are no different in your thought process from those Mujahideens. I feel pity for the women in your life.

你这样的思想和那些圣战分子没有什么不同。我很同情和你生活在一起的女人。

Congrats to all newly promoted women colonels! That said, isn't 26 years a bit too late to promote army officers to the rank of colonels?

祝贺所有新晋升的女上校

但是，26年才晋升为上校是不是有点晚了?

If narendra modiji wants to become immortal in history, he should first give all types of facilities to Brahman,cows and women.

如果莫迪想在历史上永垂不朽，他应该先给婆罗门、奶牛和女性提供各种设施。

Arunava Biswas

It is very good.i think at least 50 percent posts of all the government and private offices should be secured for women including in the minister or mp or mla candidates posts.

非常好。我认为至少50%的职位应该由女性担任，包括部长、国会议员或国会议员候选人。

LOL reservation for women leave the nation to idiots like you and it will be destroyed by women.

哈哈，给女人预留名额，把这个国家留给你这样的白痴，印度这个国家会被女人毁掉的。

Sad day for the armed forces and country.Rights and equality issues are taking precedence over national security for ego satisfaction .

对军队和国家来说是悲伤的一天。为了自我满足，把权利和平等问题看得比国家安全问题更重要。

Army men should be on the border capturing more land. Peak by peak. Leave the women to do the other things.

派男官兵去边境占领更多的土地，让女的去做其他的事。

Because being women they are not freed from natural problems like periods, applying for pregnancy leave etc compared with their male counterparts.

与男性相比，她们无法避开生理期、申请孕假等问题。

Arunava Biswas

The bjp should keep their promise of free education and traveling to all women.

印度人民党应该信守为所有女性提供免费教育的承诺。

Abhijoy Mitra

It is not the issue that Women are not capable of joining higher official rank in armed services but because of media highlighting the topic

并不是说女性不能在军队中担任更高的官职，是媒体挑起了这个话题

Bhanwar Aalawat

Women are now working with all Army in UK/USA and many advance Countries, Women sharing 50% of Population need to adjust them with quality working in supporting Army /IAF/Navy/BSF etc.

现在在英国、美国和许多先进国家的陆军中，女性占50%，我们应当调整她们的工作，以支持陆军、空军、海军和边防部队等。

Abhijoy Mitra

We don't think news medias in Western nations promote these sorts of news related with women officials getting promotions in defense forces and Government (mainly the ruling party) taking credits out of it.

我们认为西方国家的新闻媒体不会宣传女性军官在部队和政府(主要是执政党)获得晋升的消息。

Nirmaldeep Singh

Salute to the Great Indian Army

向伟大的印度军队致敬

Aashi Gahoi

A big step taken by the Indian Army to promote women officers, even if it takes place with the order of Supreme court. It's high time we start recognising army women who deserve every bit of respect as their male counterparts.

印度军队在提拔女军官方面迈出了一大步，尽管这是在最高法院的命令下进行的。现在是时候认可女性官兵了，她们是值得尊重的，和男性官兵一样。

Prabhakara Rao

Congratulations to all the Women Officers on getting their promotions to the rank of Colonel.

祝贺所有晋升为上校的女军官。
