We have all watched Rambo and consider it to be a product of imagination. But have you heard of the Indian Female Rambo Rukhsana Kausar.
In 2009, 18-year-old Rukhsana Kausar was spending time with her family in Jammu.when Pakistani militants rushed into Kausar's village. Four guards posted up outside of her house, while three gunmen went in and beat Kausar's parents and uncle in front of her and her siblings. Luckily for Kausar, her parents had stuffed her under a bed before they came in.
But after her parents fell to the ground in front of her, she found she could take no more. She leaped up and decided to take the matter into her own hands.
Killed the dreaded lashkar armed commander Abu Osama grabbing him by his hair, pinned him down with his own axe, killed him using his own AK-47.
She tagged another as he fled, and started a pitched battle with the rest of the militants that lasted for hours. One of the militants opened fire, injuring Waqalat Hussain in his arm. Other family members joined Rukhsana in attacking the militants. Rukhsana picked up the commander's AK47rifle, retrieved another from the other militant, and threw it to her brother.After seeing their commander smoked by a teenage girl, then trying to take her out for half a day with only injuries on their side, the rest of the militants decided they'd rather not risk getting made fun of quite so hard in hell, so they packed up and fled.
There were several instance when Rukhshana and her families were targets of retaliatory attacks but they survived.
She was awarded the "Kirti Chakra",the second highest gallantry award during the peace time for her act of bravery.
Unfortunately such stories are part of oblivion.
India is a land where we have always worshiped goddesses but females are always looked down and sometimes are victims of female foeticides, dowry, violence and rape. Yet the daughters of the nation always prove their mettle be it Rani Lakhsmi Bai, Mary Kom or Rukhshana.

I had never touched a rifle before this, let alone fired one - but I had seen heroes firing in films -Rukshana
