• It's a story that has been forgotten in the fanfare ofIndia's first women fighter pilots being commissioned into the Indian Air Force earlier this year.
• India's first women combat aviators went into a during the Kargil War. And while Flight Lieutenant Gunjan Saxena and Flight Lieutenant Srividya Rajan never flew
fighter jets, they did fly through an area where Pakistani soldiers fired bullets and missiles at virtually any Indian helicopter or aircraft that they could spot.
• Their tiny Cheetah helicopter was unarmed and entirely defenceless against enemy fire. And yet, like so many of
their male counterparts, the two young women soldiered on, flying dozens of sorties directly in war zone.

chala pati, kya wo Gunjan ko plane udane deti? Us deewani ko duniya ki parvah nahi thi. Bas apne papa par bharosa tha, jo kehte plane ladka udaye ya ladki, usey pilot hi kehte hain."
