Public sentiment towards the modernization of the Indian Army is largely mixed and predominantly negative. While some commenters express national pride and support for modernization efforts, significant concerns about corruption, slow execution, and operational effectiveness predominate. Comparisons to foreign military capabilities, especially China’s, exacerbate skepticism about the Indian Army's preparedness and accountability.

Someone who is experienced in this field, please tell me if I were to try and make actual contributions in the open source scene out of interest, will my contributions be filtered out just because I’m Indian? Im programming rn and trying to learn stuff myself but I hope Indian participation doesnt get banned in a lot of places by the time Im proficient😖

I appreciate this comment and agree with several points mentioned here.

As a woman, I appreciate the few seats we do get. Even if i may not get it, I know only the very best and the most deserving get it. Luck plays a part there, I agree. 

Also, atp, I am considering CAPF AC as well. It will not be the same as passing out from the gates of OTA, Chennai, but still. You can obviously guess which force through capf ac ;)

That being said, I am immensely grateful for AFCAT entries
At least we have more seats there.

TA had one seat for women💀
Man, the gov at least needs to advertise TA more, keeping aside this men and women in army debate.

It is sad that many think their dream is over after failing at NDA/CDS/AFCAT. I was surprised many didn't know about TA.

I am sorry if I went off tangent here. But i appreciate the post!

rdmptnwhen

what you speak is absolutely correct no doubt but there's one valid argument that still stands, remember Abhinandan sir who was taken in by pak(aand) forces n him being beaten by aand forces went viral. Put a woman in his place and then the horrific visuals that would have gotten out would have been so savaged that the nation would have wept.

Now you might say that they are going by their own choice and they are responsible for it. Indeed they are however we all know, our blood would have boiled n all n all yada yada.

Hence, leaders take precautions while sending women out on the battlefield.

Changes take time and I'm really w them tbh, I know my people won't be able to stand the war crimes.


So the main reason women aren't preferred (hard truth) for battlefield roles is "WAR CRIMES"...

CHANGES will take time.

Have a nice day ahead!

ravagingfly

I think the reason women are kept away from combat roles are - 1. Physical reasons.
2. Men's dominance in combat roles 
3. Tradition of armed forces of keeping women away from wars. 
I think the reason women get limited opportunities in armed forces is less misogyny but more economy. Training a man is cheaper than woman. It's more economical to prepare a male soldier than female soldier. Plus that pregnancy window creates a gap in security. So rulers and leaders have always preferred men in their army. I personally think making a man run 1000 metres marathon in harsh sun and hard terrain is easier than making a woman do the same. 
And no...I am not talking as a man. I am stating these facts as a woman.

It's like those old pics of Ukrainian troops in 2014, looking like 1980s Soviet troops.

TheRtHonLaqueesha

Cheap fibreglass helmets, no plate carriers or even flak vests but old style magazine pouches, no body armour.

Not to mention holding the rifle like that....

GeneralOhara71

Lol we are still flying Aloutte III from 1962.

Disastrous_Clue_1700

MrM1Garand25

modernization of PPE in Indian army is not centralized, different corps, division, battalion do it on their own i.e. with their own funds. So some of them which you don't see on the LoC and LAC have dogshit equipement.

ElectronicHoneydew86

It kinda looks like he has forgotten one lens cap on.

eternalityLP

Wasn’t the INSAS notorious for being unreliable in high altitude cold climates? IIRC the Indian military found that out the hard way during the 1999 Kargil War.

duga404

Right now it's all about drone warfare.  The war in Ukraine is testament to that. Flying drones,  ground drones, water drones.  

coldkickingit

That drum magazine looks like equipment from 1939

beastwood6

I cringed everytime I saw their helmets, because I know how they were made...

With glues, gums, hopes and dreams.

Those covers aren't removable.

I'm sorry Indian bros, I don't think you guys are winning any wars...

tarl06

Insas goes very hard but its mags dont, they crack in cold enviroment

I mean my issued M4A1 is like 30 years old too. It's pretty common for stuff that works to keep working.

Burrandino92

Nah I am positive that this pic isn't from 2025 cuz this rifle they are using has been phased out

Bravosixgoingdark141

What do you mean the same equipment? Is this a modern picture recreating something old? Do they use the same equipment as in 1999 now?

fartsfromhermouth

It must be from training camp, Indian Army does not use INSAS in conflict area. Even, Himachal Pradesh is not a conflict zone.

the_non-obstante

Soldiers in what constitutes as field postings receive plate carriers, ak203s with optics, level 3 kevlar lined helmets and NVGs.

This gear even by current standards is very outdated are you sure this isn't army reserves?

bananarightsactivist

It is not Rs 27770 crore it is Rs 2770 crore 
Per CQB  price is under one lakh.

saransh1989

Early in 90s Kashmir when this issue was brought up … an officer said it disrupts troop morale and impedes with operations

lgl_egl

In India power comes in an oppressive form ... our culture is one built on grabbing - power, wealth, status. 

Anything that comes in the way of that is dealt with. Eat or be eaten. This is the mentality that is sub consciously built into us from a young age. 

Transpose that into a position of power and you have India.

nomadicsoul79

in a real country, some people would have to answer for all the attrocities committed against North east

Waiting for that phool suppot person to comment

Mathjdsoc

No where in the world does military receive any punishment of serious kind, not unique to India(not defending). This is how it is to put bluntly. US army committed so many horrific crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan, IDF rapes Palestinians for fun every day, Pakistani army mass raped Bengali women in 71. Truth is all countries portray army in very high esteem and are virtually unquestionable. Yes few army men do receive internal punishments from time to time  but the whole army image or higher ups always escape.  Overall they are treated as demigods and put at the highest pedestal of moral values by masses as they feel they are sacrificing for the nation to keep them safe.  You don't question your protectors you worship them. That's how people are raised in a society.

vc0071

It is well documented that Indian Army also raped tamils in a Foreign Country ( Read the history of Srilankan Tamils and LTTE).

guruprakashcbe

AFSPA section 6 offers legal immunity/protection to armed forces from prosecution (unless central government provides so)

Dolund_Moody

The Indian Army is set to transform its capabilities with a Rs 27,770 crore deal to induct 4.25 lakh Close Quarter Battle (CQB) carbines starting in 2026. This procurement aims to replace old sub machine guns as part of a broader modernization initiative.
