Rani Padampasee, Founder of Bengal School of Shotokon, freelance writer for the Dhaka-based English newspaper The Daily Star , mother of two. My firm belief. I do feel that I am making a statement. I also know that what I do is a drop in the ocean.
Drops make ripples.
It will create problems if I make too much noise. I am in no position to change Bangladesh, but the people around me I can at least influence. A lot of men don't like to send their mothers, daughters, and wives to me. They think I am teaching them bad things because the art I teach changes women. It makes them confident, able, and this is hard for many people here to accept.
