She the Wonder Women – Dr. Seema Rao 

Dr Seema Rao, India’s first and only woman  

commando trainer, is the epitome of strength and  

conviction.  

For generations now, women have been working  

towards (read: fighting for) freedoms that have been  

the privilege of men in patriarchal societies. Some  

have faced flak, others have inched forward, but they  

have all persevered and, through their efforts, these  

freedoms become less elusive to so many Indian  

women.. 

Born to an Indian freedom fighter, Professor  

Ramakant Sinari, Rao has an MBA in crisis management. She was a Mrs India World  beauty pageant finalist. 

She was inspired by her father, Prof Ramakant Sinari, who was a freedom fighter who  fought the Portuguese regime. “My dad was an underground rebel,” she reveals. “I was  certainly inspired by his stories of rebellion and strength.” Her prized possession is a  sword that her father inherited from his own father. 

“I was thrilled when I thought about the life of commandos. I started learning martial  arts and got trained in military martial arts. .”  

Dr Rao has authored the Encyclopedia of Close Combat Ops, which is the world’s first of its  kind and which has found a place in the FBI, Interpol and Buckingham Palace libraries.

She never imagined that she would be training commandos; she was supposed to become  a doctor. “I was thrilled when I thought about the life of commandos. I started learning  martial arts and got trained in military martial arts, Israeli krav maga and MMA,”  says Dr Rao. Because one needs to be  

exposed to challenges of different terrain,  

environment and climatic conditions,  

she went many extra miles to equip  

herself with skills 

Even after having encountered two near 

death experiences, Dr Rao never shied  

away from challenges. She strongly feels  

that gender does not have a say in one’s  career choices. “Women are assuming  positions of power in various fields,” she  points out. More and more young girls  

“NO ONE CAN STOP A WOMAN FROM  EXCELLING AND REACHING THE HEIGHTS  IN HER FIELD.” 

and women are keen on joining the forces. Many seek to assume combat roles and that  might become a possibility very soon.” 

  

At 52 today, the Nari Shakti Puraskar Awardee is out of active field training and devotes  her time to women empowerment.she uses her story to make a difference to society. She  has five Ted Talks under her belt. 

Recently, she spoke at the National Women’s Parliament in Amravati, Maharashtra,  addressing 15,000 young girls. “I like my military assignments, but I like contributing  to society too. I hope that my story will inspire the youth—especially women—to break out  of their shells and explore their inner attributes, even if it means taking an  unconventional path .”
