For many years it's been a major bone of contention for those seeking equal rights for women. While the armed forces have enrolled women for years in various roles, they have said a firm no to having women in combat. But that may be changing now. The NSG director, in an exclusive interview to NDTV, has said that he's ready with the first batch of 23 women commandos to protect VIPs.
