Netflix portrayal of female Indian Air Force pilot flies into flak
Gunjan Saxena was one of the first women in the IAF, but her biopic has drawn rebukes from fellow officers over sexism claims
Former and current members of the Indian military have criticised a Netflix film for portraying the armed forces as rife with gender discrimination.
The Indian Air Force (IAF) has written to an Indian censor board, as well as Dharma Productions, which produced the film, and Netflix to complain that Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl “presented some situations that are misleading and portray an inappropriate work culture especially against women in the IAF”.
