India’s top court on Wednesday, Sept. 22 allowed young women to take the entrance examination to the country's national defense academy for the first time in November, a watershed moment for them to join the armed forces as officers. The court had rejected the government plea that women were not suitable for commanding posts in the army, saying male troops were not prepared yet to accept female officers.
