Army’s stand is perplexing
A few days back, the Indian Government challenged the Delhi High Court judgment regarding permanent commission to women in the army by moving the Supreme Court of India. On March 12, 2010, the HC had directed the government to allow grant of permanent commission to women in army and air force. Under this directive, women serving in the short service commission program would be treated at par with their male counterparts, which will be applicable to future recruitments only. While the air force has complied with the order already, the army has gone on record to say that it is not ready to provide permanent commission to women yet.
As of now, women in the Army are only recruited for Short Service Commission (period of 14 years) unlike their male counterparts, who enjoy permanent commission after five years. This move by the government and the army does come out as highly discriminatory, despite claims to the contrary.
