Yeah! You go girl! An official caption says
An Indian co-worker of mine recognized the phenomenon immediately: the Village Defense Committee is a familiar thing in many parts of India. Here, it's a case of colorful and joyful female empowerment.

Another Indian co-worker mentioned that, in the old class system in India, she was of the second-highest class which is roughly the warrior class. Her ancient family history was in the military. It seemed funny because the lady in question is 5 feet tall and of a totally gentle disposition. But terrorists beware: there are hidden warriors in India, and they're armed, dangerous, and some are kinda cute as well.

"That fucker asks for more curry one more time and I am going to blow his head off!"

Works for the Israelis.

Second picture...#1 Mark III Enfields...originally in .303 British...later converted to .410 single shot shotguns..... For police riot control......no magazine protruding. A nine pound shotgun in .410 is a lot to carry.

You seem disturbingly well informed about firearms....

"Colorful, and joyful female empowerment."

I guess that says it all.

Defense.... stick it out the window. Plus these aren't city dwellers, them's country girls.... hauling water, kerosene or wood, and crops.

Wow you go girls, you get em.

I'mmmmmmmmmmmmmm back.:biglaugha

It's about damn time, too.

That's Brixton High Street on a Saturday night :D

(Area of South London renowned for gun crime...)

Welcome chickenings.

Hmmm... I want to see a Bollywood remake of The Magnificent Seven.

Its the new Rifle Tote Bag! Comes in bolt action or automatic.

If you shoot someone you can say "OMG, I am SO sari!"

They come in .308, too.
 

I've got an Enfield rebored to accept .308, which is a more readily available calibre. It was made 1964 at the Ishapore armoury.

:lol:

That was fun, too bad Pakistan will probably nuke India when they next war each other, not necessarily as a last resort.

Oh dear, wouldn't that radiation spread over the middle east?

Hallo Chickenings! Welcome to the Cellar! oh....and runswithknives...and Silazius.

:D :D :D :D :D :D
{thanks!}

I am a HUGE Enfield fan. I have 4 different ones including my fav which has been sporterized for hunting. It is my fav deer hunting rifle. I shoot it with open sites and can shoot 3 inch groups at 100 meters (if I have my glasses on!) :D I love it.

Hey Leah! Seen James?

Groannnnnnnn:headshake

:grinnylov

Thanks Wolf / Dana... Good to be a cellar dweller :D

We can only hope.

And it is not that I am for wiping out women and children, it is the only way I can think of to stop a religion that preaches, all non-believers must die.

(And yes I know that is an extremist view and "core" Islamic faith doesn't teach that, but my god, a selection of Islams have been interpreting it that way since the Middle Ages. It is time to shut the source of the hate-mongering down.)

With radiation? You want to irradiate hate now?

Too late Coign - that cancer has already spread.
