Defence Officer Wahida — Practice

Question 1

Who is Wahida and what did she achieve?

Accepted Answer

Wahida is the first female defence officer from Jammu & Kashmir. She dreamed of joining the defence forces from childhood, worked hard despite people doubting her, and achieved her goal. She now serves the nation with pride.

Question 2

What did people tell Wahida when she said she wanted to join the army?

Accepted Answer

People told Wahida: 'Girls cannot be in the army,' 'It is too dangerous for women,' and 'You should get married instead.' They believed only men could serve in the defence forces.

Question 3

How did Wahida prepare to achieve her dream?

Accepted Answer

Wahida prepared by: (1) studying hard — she studied for hours to pass the difficult defence exams, (2) training physically — she exercised daily, practised running, push-ups, and drills to build fitness, (3) ignoring the doubters — she didn't let negative comments stop her. She combined academic preparation with physical training.

Question 4

What can we learn from Wahida's story?

Accepted Answer

From Wahida's story, we learn: (1) follow your dreams even when others doubt you, (2) hard work and determination can overcome any obstacle, (3) gender should never limit what you can achieve — girls can do anything boys can do, (4) one person's success can inspire thousands of others.

Question 5

Some people think certain jobs are 'for boys' and others are 'for girls.' Using Wahida's example, explain why this thinking is wrong.

Accepted Answer

Wahida's story proves that the idea of 'boys' jobs' and 'girls' jobs' is wrong because: (1) Wahida became a defence officer — a job traditionally seen as 'for boys' — and she excelled at it. (2) What makes someone good at a job is their talent, training, and hard work — not whether they are male or female. (3) If we tell girls 'you can't do this job,' we lose half of our talent — the country misses out on brilliant doctors, soldiers, scientists, and leaders. (4) In modern India, women are fighter pilots, CEOs, sportswomen, and even the Prime Minister. A job belongs to whoever has the skill and passion to do it.
