Pragmatic urges the Army to grant women officers permanent commission,

Irrespective of anyone’s liking, it is just a matter of time before permanently commissioned women officers are inducted into the services. The services have to accept the inevitable with grace and plan the changeover prudently before the harsh decision is forced down their throats by the political masters. In any case, this act of denying equal status to women in the military is an anachronism in modern India and in dissonance with the thinking of the current generation. It only reinforces the stereotypical image of military as a fossilised institution that reeks of senility and antiquity.
