This book has complete coverage of some of the greatest Indian
Sepoys, who have, given the Indian Army their extensive support and
dedication. A true tribute to the glorious traditions of the
Gorkhas, the Sikh, the Punjabi Mussalman, the Mahrattas, and the
Dogras, among others. This book offers readers a collective
analysis of the sociopolitical settings of the British Empire and
also tracks the story of the formation of the Indian Army.
The rights of pregnant workers as well as (the lack of) paid
maternity leave have increasingly become topics of a major policy
debate in the United States. Yet, few discussions have focused on
the U.S. military, where many of the latest policy changes focus on
these very issues. Despite the armed forces' increases to
maternity-related benefits, servicewomen continue to be
stigmatized for being pregnant and taking advantage of maternity
policies. In an effort to understand this disconnect, Megan
McFarlane analyzes military documents and conducts interviews with
enlisted servicewomen and female officers. She finds a
policy/culture disparity within the military that pregnant
servicewomen themselves often co-construct, making the policy
changes significantly less effective. McFarlane ends by offering
suggestions for how these policy changes can have more impact and
how they could potentially serve as an example for the broader
societal debate.
