With the advent of war on terror and the up rise of Anti-Pakistan (Anti-Islam also) movements; we have witnessed so many incidents took place in our country (Pakistan) which still remain a mystery to all of us ; one of them is the story of Malala Yousafzai. I will not give a critical review on how she got shot by whom, when and why rather here I'll discuss her biography and then will raise some very serious questions.

Story line:

This story tarts with the birth of a girl who loves her culture (Swat Valley) And has the ability to think and consider the behavior of her father just after a few months of her birth. She has great love for knowledge and reads Twilight at the age less than eleven (bravo certainly have great resources) . Her father is the only noble person available there who takes steps for the education of women and thus opens a school which , later on becomes the tool of aggression of Taliban. According to him there have been more schools if our nuclear program( which is one of the greatest achievement of the poor sate of Pakistan) had not been initiated by the government . So the Taliban threaten him and his family but that brave person still  survives. Meanwhile his very ordinary yet radiant daughter gets noticed by media and gets a gateway to BBC blogs where she starts to update her bog regularly (lucky indeed as 6-7 years earlier,not even the average urban girls had full access to internet that much but this girl living in a far off place like Swat had that). She describes various accounts about how bad she felt when they had to lock away their television sets and had to listen to "Radio Mullah" as he was spreading false ideologies and was imposing them on people by force. Then as a results of the rebellious activities of her father; she received a bullet in her head.

Analysis:

When this story reached us that how a girl has been shot in head just because she wanted to study made us all very uncomfortable. Those were strange days when their was high security alert. alter on we saw pictures of Malala with a bullet and some showed her getting on a helicopter herself. Then when she did receive treatment abroad; our media showed her laying on the bed in pain but guess what she didn't even loss a single hair.Most important question among all was that a lot of people have been killed who have actually contributed towards the betterment of our beloved country but why only this girl have been given so much importance? Thousands of children have been shot dead who preferred to go to school resultantly met their fate; take APS Peshawar victims for example, who inspite of being brutally tortured in a prestigious institute, have returned back to their schools then why can't she, the nobel peace prize winner cannot? These are the questions which need to be answered and it is the right of every Pakistani to know about it as this girl has strengthened the negative stereotype of Pakistan at international level.
