India's newly recruited women border security guards.

India is fast moving to create environment of gender equality .Slow but surely it is happening.
178 newly trained women recruits will join the BSF in coming weeks and months.This is pioneering and proud group of young women ages 18 to22 selected from a group of 8000 candidates.

The outstanding calibre of this group is a proof how India is changing. Among the new recruits, 14 are post-graduates, 22 graduates and 128 studied up to Class 12.In India high school is 10 years of schooling.Only 14 were high school graduates they may be the youngest students as such their achievement is more commendable.

BSF is the semi military part of the border security at the border .They are the ceremonial as well as first line of guards at the border posts .Would it change the BSF for better? Will the presence of women humanise this organisation.Is India ready for presence of women in this force.I hope we all learn something from it .Woman soldiers from India have made UN proud of their service .This is a happy day for the world and India ,US along with other democracies can be proud that long awaited changes for the better are happening.To me it always seems women make military lesser militaristic and we are better for it.
