A pistol can kill a person quickly and efficiently. In that case is there any relevance in learning to fight with daggers and swords?
The answer is yes and no. If every one has access to a pistol and everyone is authorized to use a firearm in every situation then what you say is absolutely right. But you cannot always carry and use a pistol or a gun. Only the extreme situations demand such extreme measures. It may compare to driving a motorcar to the toilet or to the kitchen. Even if you have a gun you need the martial mind to use it and martial traditions develop the martial mind. Further you have to answer to the law enforcing authorities. Again the physical and health benefits of exercise built in the system of Kalarippayattu cannot be obtained by the mere possession of a gun.
