How many of you think that self-defense (karate etc) should become a mandatory part of education, right from elementary schools , because I think this is the only way to somewhat deal with rising no.of crime cases against women. Agreed that kids of smaller age cannot fight back but they should be taught techniques to deal with such heinous crimes? When police or anybody else cannot safe guard us or provide protection, we should take it up by ourselves. What say?

Giving respect to women is the only solution to this problem. I also agree that martial arts will help women getting abused but at the same time you must also know one thing that if every women is trying to learn martial arts those persons who are abusing women will also learn the tricks in martial arts. The society should give respect to all persons irrespective of whether they are rich or not . The person who get respect from the society will never ever do these kind of activities.


Giving respect to women is an innate quality that few men are born with..you cannot force anybody to respect women.

Secondly, at times some people appear to be nice and pay respect to women as a show off when all lewd thoughts come to their mind and when they get a chance they commit crimes like molesting girls of all age groups and then rape..we really can't control what is going on in anybody's mind. Instead of controlling anybody's mind we can do what is within our reach and control. So learning martial arts will come handy.


Most of these crimes perpetrated towards women today are from known and trusted men. So, forget that age old moral stuff which is far from reality. Reality is to gear up for self preservation that suits you.

Exactly, people whom we know, people whom we trust are the first people who pounce upon us...betraying our trust.

So it implies that these known and intimate people are to be watched first. The likelihood of a total stranger committing a crime is less. Beware of these wolves on the prowl.

Exactly, in most cases it is a trend, because like I said we cannot control anybody's mind..but we can certainly carry things like chilli powder and even now a knife to counter-attack molesters, eve-teasers, the Indian law now permits the use of a knife for self-defence.

When women are given previleges for self defense , it's wise to use them instead of waiting for somebody for help. Help yourself.

Because responsible citizens cannot take law in their hands..secondly, this law can be misused at times I guess that is why a go ahead from the law makers was necessary.

But in the above lines you said Indian law permits use of knife for self defense.
Martial arts should be made part of the curriculum in elementary schools. Apart from that special orientation programs should be organised by school authorities where both parents, kids and teachers should participate.

Such awareness programs should teach children about how to avoid strangers, recognizing and avoiding dangerous situations, and also encourage parents to talk and be more communicative to their children so that children could feel free to talk about their worries.
Parents along with the school also has a huge role in this. Children often feel shy or frightened to talk about these situations with their own parents. In such cases parents should always try their best to be as much friendly as possible so that children feel free to talk with them no matter what the situation is. Sometimes in case of molestation, the parents are not even aware what their child has gone through. A healthy trustworthy relationship should be there where the child should be comfortable to talk about this.

Schools should also work-out a positive relationship between students and their guardians. It is very important.

Yes Indian law permits the use of knife for women, to be used as a means of self-defence. Here's the linklink : :

Martial arts are included in the curriculum long ago. But most of the schools are not equipped with trained teachers in Martial arts. In some schools It's PT instructors who take up the classes. Effective implementation of martial arts by trained people is the immediate necessity to be addressed by the school authorities and Education ministry.
Yes but but many schools still do not have martial arts in their curriculum. More than that safety awareness programs should be the focus.

Even the awareness programmes are introduced in the schools as an eyewash. Most of these programmes are non -functional programmes.
Yes most of the schools are just profit oriented schools who give little or no importance to these important issues which effect their own students.

Which is why parents should take charge and impart all the real life education necessary to the children. After all, no teacher can be a better teacher than a parent. And no educational institution can be a better institution than a Home..
Yes well said and so true. It is after all a parent's responsibility.

I believe, if a child is imparted life lessons right from the formative years by the parents, these lessons make such a deep mark on the tender hearts, that they remain there all along the life. They can't be erased or wiped off.
Yes so true. They understand from their tender years what is right and wrong and never cross their lines. As they grow up children often have to go abroad or to other states for higher studies far from home. As teenagers they are often become familiar with negative influences. At that time it is very crucial that they understand what is right and wrong for them so that parents do not have to worry about them sitting at home.
An education received by a child during childhood from the parents lays the foundation for both Self Reliance and Self Confidence which a go a long way. Jija bai mother of Shivaji sculpted the personality of Shivaji in the home
Yes a wonderful example. What we are today is because of our parents. Instead of blaming outside influences we should try to nurture our own children so that they develop into responsible human beings when they grow up.
