This is what it takes to be a woman and join the army

She managed to see the humour in uniform, even when she was wearing one. Sajita Nair, former armywoman, pens a part-fiction-part-fact novel, She's A Jolly Good Fellow, based on her five years in the Indian army

Two young women take on the Indian army. That's the theme of She's A Jolly Good Fellow, and that's also what Sajita Nair felt in 1994. It was when she, fresh from defence training, joined the men in olive. "Ours was the first batch of women to make it into the army then," says the 39 year-old based in Vishakapatnam. It was both, an awe-inspiring and hilarious time.
