In a nation deeply rooted in military history, women’s involvement in the armed forces has been both profound and enduring. The landmark of over three decades of commissioned service for female officers in the Indian Army is not merely a chronological milestone but a testament to a century-long journey of women contributing to military affairs. Over the past decade, this commitment has evolved, with women playing significant roles not only in the medical and peacekeeping spheres but also stepping into combat and support positions. This transformative shift towards gender equality within the Indian Armed Forces sets the stage for the remarkable story of Major Meenakshi Madan.
