Malala Yousafzai Wins Nobel Peace Prize for Pakistan.

[nair]

Congratulations Malala...... You have done something which probably we keyboard warriors of PDF would never able to do.....

 

[Slav Defence]

Majority of Pakistanis are asking themselves:
Congratulations!
A TTP survivor has won Nobel prize.
An author of book has won
A victim has won.
Meanwhile,
Dr.Afia Siddique- worked on retarded children,an excellent speaker and (n) gold medalist-a true victim and survivor is sentenced 86 years of imprisonment.

Why?
Both were survivors
Both were victims
-------------------------------------------------
I have discussed the malala phobia with many Pakistanis and came to realize that:
"They actually don't hate Malala Yousufzai"
Astonishing isn't it?
Well yes,this is true-Pakistanis do not hate malala but those so called humanity representatives as their hands are covered with blood of innocent while they chant humanity and justice.
Congrats malala for becoming the youngest Nobel prize winner.

Regards

No, your point is not what is proved. My point was that undeserving people have won it in the past, but that does not mean that every recepient is undeserving. The two people who won today are certainly deserving.

BTW I think this makes Malala the youngest Nobel recepient in history.

You have your opinion and I have mine, both have the right to have it. In my opinion, malala was not deserving. If she is deserving then the other two girls who were shot with her also deserve it.

Oh you have met her. I didn't know that.

Well women are repressed in Pakistan you can't deny that. Maybe not in major urban areas but if you go to these villages and tribal areas, women are treated worse than cattle.

I am not sure what really her supposed "handlers" again by emphasizing this point. The world already knows that Pakistan reputation when it comes to the treatment for women even though it has elected women as Prime Ministers.

But if does shed a painful light on a touchy subject then so be it. I am sure you can agree that women's rights in Pakistan need to improve considerably.

Yes, before the shooting and the international fame. The girl truly wanted to get everyone in her locality to study. Its her father as I mentioned before who seemed to be focusing less on the message and more on the fame and funding for her.

I mentioned that the "handlers" whosoever they may be in her case, or Mukhtaran's or any of the many charities and educational partnership initiatives that operate here look for ways to send in people under various guises.
Now how will they gain this? By highlighting the girl and inviting donations and cover under her cause to be able to set up institutions and send in personnel as employees of the former. Now if it was just any other cause you cannot send in a that many personnel or put in that much money without inviting the glaring eyes of our rather paranoid intelligence hounds. But here is a popular cause that immediately invites interest, donations and various do-gooders willing to travel and set up schools and so on.

Its quite simple, if today you or I were to write a book on the virtues of Pakistan it really wont sell well. The opposite would.

Did the other two girls blog about the troubles faced by girls during taliban rule? Did they openly speak about and call attention to that issue on world media, like Malala did? If so, they were equally deserving.

This is the third time I am pointing this out today, and frankly I cannot understand why Pakistanis find this so difficult to grasp - Malala was not given a nobel prize for getting shot. She was given one for championing a worthwhile cause, under the rule of a barbarous regime.

Congratulations to Malala and Kailash.

I am not going to say if they deserved the prize or not. But there are questions.

I have not heard about Kailash. So can't comment on him.

And regarding Malala isn't she too young. I mean I don't doubt even for a moment her intent for education. But there is still a long way to go for her. To do great things. I think she has been given this award for being another Symbol- 'Symbol of Education'. Isn't it dangerous to do that. I mean they gave someone an award for being a "Symbol of hope". Look how that turned out. Giving award for being a symbol rather than doing concrete things is a not a good trend. I mean questions can be asked about what was Malala's influence? How many of the girl students she is 'supposed to have inspired' in SWAT ever got a chance to read her blog (published in BBC) or read her book (which is banned). How many of these girls had internet. Isn't it a valid question to ask who were the target audience of the above. Seems she inspired more people in the West than those she was supposed to inspire. I am sure Pakistan has more deserving people.

Anyways Its the Nobel Committee who gives the award. Its their job. Our Job is to congratulate the recipients and celebrate the achievement even if it seems odd. And thats all Indians and Pakistanis should do. After fighting for 9 days lets celebrate

Like many other said before I also think it should have been Mr. Edhi but Congratulations to little Malala.

One day she will be a very powerful and influential person in both Pakistan and the world. She could be the Prime Minister of Pakistan in 20 years. Mark this post.

My problem with Malala is that first of all, a lot of what the media talks about her is wrong, exaggerated, understated and otherwise manipulated.
Her story is inspiring and all but the truth is that she wasn't just some poor normal girl shot because of her bravery and schooling dreams. She was shot because of her father's political position, which was high enough to give him access to a chopper to airlift Malala to CMH, among other things.
Secondly, her book is a lot more about misplaced political views and theories and less about education. A few examples:

On Pakistan’s fiftieth anniversary on 14 August 1997 there were parades and
commemorations throughout the country. However, my father and his friends said there was nothing to
celebrate as Swat had only suffered since it had merged with Pakistan. They wore black armbands to
protest, saying the celebrations were for nothing, and were arrested.

But we weren’t exactly cooperating as the ISI was still arming Taliban fighters and giving their leaders sanctuary in Quetta. They even persuaded the Americans to let them fly hundreds of Pakistani fighters out of northern Afghanistan. The ISI chief asked the Americans to hold off their attack on Afghanistan until he had gone to Kandahar to ask the Taliban leader Mullah Omar to hand over bin Laden; instead he offered the Taliban help

Anyone could see that Musharraf was double-dealing, taking American money while still helping
the jihadis – ‘strategic assets’, as the ISI calls them. The Americans say they gave Pakistan billions of
dollars to help their campaign against al-Qaeda but we didn’t see a single cent.

Some of this might be true, some false, anyone who understands global politics knows how dirty of a game it is. If I wanted to find such theories or analyses, I would have read a book about Pakistan's geopolitics that is not based on the views of a 16 year old girl.
Now these are just some examples. I know this isn't an accurate measurement but there are 149 instances of "Army" in the book, compared to 78 instances of the word "education".

This book is supposed to be inspirational for Pakistanis, students, youth, everyone but instead what we get is a piece that is shoving opinions about Pakistan's army down our throats. They are opinions and theories, not facts. And then people are surprised when Malala is called a western puppet. All the political statements in her book look like they're straight out of the US State Department. International politics is a dirty game. Even a 'country' like Sealand has had to do some morally wrong stuff.

I completely agree with Malala about education and about the Taliban and Muslim extremists but I have problems with many things about her.
