A recent news article has drawn our attention towards such acts of 'bravery' supported in a government school near Villupuram, Tamilnadu.
Children were made to lie down with their hands stretched on the ground. A man rode his motorcycle over the hands. This act was witnessed and appreciated by the crowd of parents, teachers, and onlookers.

What are they going to achieve by these 'feats'?
Can they ever escape when run over by an MTC bus or a speeding truck?
Why don't they just teach self-defence?
There are lot of other strategies to develop endurance.
What is there to be proud of such things?
I simply don't understand.
