New Delhi: A livid Indian Army is framing a written complaint to online retailer Amazon and also mulling options, including taking legal recourse, over the sexual content and title of a racy online e-book Indian Army Wife.
An Army source told this newspaper: “We will definitely act on this book and its title which is very derogatory to the wives of Army officials and soldiers.”
“It is our duty to protect the honour of Army wives who are known to sacrifice everything, including their husbands, for national duties,” said Col. Aman Anand, spokesperson, Indian Army.
The 68-page book, the Kindle edition of which was first published in September 2016, is written by Aman K and is the story of a brigad-ier’s wife who explains “how she became an exhibitionist at a young age and then how she became a shared hot-wife (a woman who has sex with other men with her husband’s approval) in order to accelerate her husband’s career”.
An online promotion on the book says: “Read on to find out how Abhijeet gets from captain to brigadier in record time. This story has it all, from flashing a school teacher to husband watching and more...”
Calling the book “demeaning, defamatory and scandalous”, Maj. Gen. T. Parshad (Retd), former Judge Advocate General (JAG), said: “I am not aware of the contents of the book but after reading the book details, I find it absolutely derogatory. It is not only the duty of the Army but of the entire nation to safeguard the honour and reputation of our ladies from such scandalous write-ups, which for monetary benefits defame the Army wives as a class.”
Aman K is the pseudonym of someone who purportedly described himself in 2016 on an online portal as a London-based 33-year-old born to Indian parents there.
Aman K’s other equally suggestive titles include “Indian Hotwife: Seduced by her Personal Trainer”, “My Indian Wife — First Time Shared”, “Married But Available: Indian Hotwife”, etc.
