Just finished watching #GunjanSaxenaTheKargilGirl. Superb movie. What I loved was the realistic way the movie was made. It shows the struggle of the first Indian Lady officer to see combat. The IAF was the first service to give chance to women in combat. Full credit to it. (More)
There were some in the force who doubted the capability of the lady officer. I don’t blame them. That is result of years of ingrained belief that defence is the domain for men. However, others in the IAF supported her, gave her wings to touch the sky with glory. (More)
The IAF came together as a unit to support her. What is lacking is the acting ability of Ms Kapoor. I am sure Flight Lieutenant Gunjan Saxena was much smarter in demeanour and confident than what Ms Kapoor projects. The IAF today has fantastic lady officers. (More)
It still remains a force which was the first to give actual combat duty to lady officers, having inducted women fighter pilots. And yes, full credit to father of Gunjan. May there be more such fathers around.
