I know this may sound
like an outlandish solution to a difficult problem, but it is just a thought.
More and more people
are advocating teaching Ju JItsu and Karate to girls so that they can protect
themselves from rapists. But I dont know how feasible this will be. To start
with, girls are weaker in build and strength, and secondly they may be
confronted with several rapists. I doubt whether physical self-defence will be
of much help.
But suppose special
ladies' pistols of a very small size were made available to all girls on a very
nominal fee by the Government. Each pistol could have at least six shots, and
the girls were to carry these with them all the time in their handbags.
If attacked they
could simply shoot the rapists in self defence. And that would be the end of
that. Society would be rid of the devils and justice would be served
simultaneously.
And such shootings
would be allowed by the law of the land as strictly legal.
When news would get
around of the number of rapists being shot and wounded, this would definitely
deter other scoundrels from touching girls and women.
I am sure the number
of rapes would definitely come down and the people would feel a tremendous
sense of security and satisfaction, at finally giving the rapists their due.
This would be a
fitting tribute to the gang rape victim whose memory we wish to preserve.
