There is just one answer to all these questions...the approach is defensive and not pro-active.Defense is never the solution to any problem.The problem is that it is not a full proof solution.The problem is that by forcing the girls to learn martial arts we are provocating the fact that its ok if the govt doesn't do anything for us.The wrong is that why is it a compulsion for me to learn martial arts if I dont wish to???? A man can decide whether he wants to learn self-defense or not then why cant a woman?Why it shud be a need not a choice for her??? Why provocate the fact that no only women will have to always "FIGHT" for themselves.Why we only tell women to fight???Dont we women have the right to live a smooth free fearless lives where we can do what we want. I shud hv the freedom to decide whether i want to learn self-defence or not. If I pay the govt taxes for my safety they are under the obligation to protect me and help me live an easy and free life. A life of my choice. Confidence doesn't come from learning martial arts.I can be internally confident even if I am a house wife.
"The fear of law" is the biggest right of any citizen.My cousin who lives in US told me about a case that had been filed against an electric appliance company who sold a faulty product.They had to pay so much of penalty that they went in debt.Would a faulty appliance make an issue in our country?Though it can be life threatening.That is the power of "fear of law" No one wants to become bankrupt or lose their life just for a moment of fun or sexual satisfaction.
