11-year-old Bijapur girl earns Karate Black Belt
Says every girl must learn martial arts for self defence
Bijapur: A majority of Muslim families think twice and sometimes thrice before sending their daughters to enhance their skills other than academics. The trend subjected more in suburban areas where the parents like their daughters to stay at home after their regular school classes. Breaking the stereotype is a Bijapur family whose belief in their daughter has seen their 11-year-old daughter earn the Karate Black Belt.
Nadira Rozindar is a young 11-year-old daughter of Hayat Rozindar and now wears the Black Belt over her Karate gear with pride and a bright smile on her face. Nadira is also extremely passionate about the martial art that has given her a reckoning at a young age. She works hard and with a dedication to work on enhancing her skills in the martial arts.
Nadira started learning Karate when she was studying in Class 3, the biggest encouragement to her, came from her father, Hayat Rozindar who vehemently believes that children, mainly girls must learn self defence techniques.
“In the current scenario, it is important for the girls to learn self defence techniques which gives them emotional strength to fight during any adversaries. I believe every family must send their children, especially daughters to learn some kind of martial art” Hayat says.
With this clear objective, he admitted his daughter to a local Karate institute where she has been undergoing training for about three years now.
Karate training has a total of nine belts. It starts with a white belt and ends with a black belt while each belt carries different sets of rules and techniques. Only after passing those techniques, the students get a chance to earn a new belt.
Meanwhile, Naadira said that she could have completed the black belt a little earlier itself, but because of the COVID pandemic, the classes stopped and the exams were postponed.
“I recently completed the exam where trainers of Hubballi had come as supervisors. Since I completed all techniques, I was given a black belt”, she said with pride.
She now wants to continue Karate and wishes to complete different levels.
While Nadira wishes to continue her training, the father wants her to open a separate Karate coaching center in the coming days that will only train girls.
“I want my daughter to become an instructor of Karate by opening a separate school only for girls where she should be training and encouraging girls to undergo martial art training for their self defence. Hopefully, in a few years, she will start the center, and I will do whatever is required for that”, Hayat said.

Police probe antecedents of man who opened fire at Farooq Abdullah
Jammu (PTI): Police have initiated a detailed probe into the antecedents of Kamal Singh Jamwal, the man who allegedly attempted to assassinate former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah at a marriage function here, officials said on Thursday.
Police are examining the 63-year-old Jamwal’s background, including his personal, social and possible organisational links, to ascertain the motive behind the firing incident, they said.
Abdullah, the president of the National Conference, had a narrow escape when the accused allegedly fired at him from behind as he was leaving the marriage function at Greater Kailash on the outskirts of Jammu on Wednesday night.
Security personnel deployed with Abdullah immediately swung into action and thwarted the assassination attempt. A licensed pistol allegedly used in the crime was recovered from Jamwal's possession.
Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary and adviser to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Nasir Aslam Wani, were also accompanying the NC chief when the incident occurred.
Jamwal, a resident of Purani Mandi in Jammu, reportedly told police that he had been waiting for an opportunity to target Abdullah for the last 20 years. Officials said police are also examining his recent activities and movements before the attack.
Senior police officers are currently questioning Jamwal, who told investigators that he earns his livelihood from rent generated by his shops.
Officials said security arrangements at the venue are being reviewed to determine how the accused managed to enter the function with a weapon.
Meanwhile, BJP leader Jahanzaib Sirwal has condemned the attack on Abdullah, saying "such acts of violence are unacceptable and have no place in a democratic and civilised society."
"Since the accused has been arrested, the authorities must ensure a thorough and transparent investigation so that the complete facts behind the attack come to light and strict action is taken in accordance with the law," Sirwal said.
