Overwhelming emotions! There are a few points that I would also like to make. A basic understanding of some of which (or lack of it) is going to shape our world in the time ahead. .
I am on the other side of the river when it comes to this topic...So yes you are right about "Overwhelming Emotions" however the only difference is they are from your side .....
@Topic
We need to look at this issue from the point of view of IAF. It is their particular consideration that they do not deem feasible that their trained fighter pilot (upon whom enormous amount of money and resources is spent to turn them into fighter pilots) may not be available on crucial times because of very genuine reason of maternity leave and may be even after that,
Now if this is not emotions than what else can be??? Do you honestly think that you are applying your brain here and talking something concrete??? What made you think that women won't be available on crucial times because they are pregnant??? when people here are clearly saying that put this bloody no pregnancy clause till this age in their contracts...Do you really believe in those child hood stories that god comes and leave a baby in the tummy of mom and that's how baby is born??? We are talking about fighter pilots here they are not some illetrate dumb people who know nothing about contraceptives..condoms...and heck what not....Get it right women don't need a 1-0-1 from anyone on how to control pregnancies...
Oh really??? So how do the children of working women get raised??? Do they take them to offices with them??? Again we are just snubing them thinking they will get pregnant without even considering the fact that they joined IAF with some commitments and contracts...This is 21 centuary for god sake....as still in our societies mother's are both emotionally enthusiast and obliged to look after the upbringing of their children and spend most of the time with them. Father's do not play such a major role (and I truly believe they cannot) in the early days of a child. The social demographic of India is different from that of western countries. Here mothers usually do not leave behind their children to nannies.
This to me is again lame and is nothing but gender biased...Can you guarantee that men folks will not break contracts that they have signed with IAF??? If the answer is no then why this bais with women??? If they indeed break the contract by getting pregnant than they will have to face punitive actions...WHY NOT??? but snubbing them saying that no matter what they will break the contract, is lame excuse....Furthermore, IAF cannot propose any sort of punitive action for getting pregnant in the course of the service, because you cannot punish a woman for getting pregnant, that would be very inhuman. So talk of pe-conditions is totally irrelevant. They would either have to decide to recruit them or not to recruit them. The decision, whether it is for or not, should not be looked upon as being gender biased.
