Q.Women should be allowed to join the combat units of the army and go up to the highest position.

Equality of opportunity means people should have the same chance to pursue their goals based on their actual ability, not be excluded as a group because of who they are.

Equality of opportunity holds that every person, as a human being, is entitled to the same rights and opportunities to develop their skills and pursue their goals and ambitions. This principle applies just as much to career and profession as it does to education — it is not limited to any one sphere of life.

If a woman meets the objective requirements that any soldier must meet — the same fitness standards, the same training, the same demonstrated skill — excluding her purely because she is a woman is exactly the kind of group-based, birth-determined exclusion the chapter treats as unacceptable, in the same family as excluding someone on the basis of caste or race. It is not a legitimate differentiation based on actual ability.

Those who argue against this sometimes raise concerns about physical-strength requirements or unit cohesion. But the chapter's own framework offers a clear way to handle exactly this kind of concern: it distinguishes between real, relevant differences (which can justify differential treatment — for instance, physical test standards that are genuinely tied to the actual demands of a role) and excluding an entire group from even being considered for an opportunity. The equality-consistent response is to test actual capability on relevant, objective standards, not to bar an entire gender-defined group from applying, serving in combat, or rising to the highest ranks.
