These are dangerous times. The world is full of putridity.
Escaping this to live a peaceful life is not in the books and practically not
possible too. You have only two options, see through it till the end or kill
yourself. Not all men are alike, a woman, entirely different altogether. A teenager, Malala Yousafzai, from the
disturbed district of Pakistan, rallied against the oppressive Taliban group.
By rally, she never sought to warfare. She didn't want
physical violence. She believed few letters strung together could be more
lengthier and mightier than a sword or a gun. Being a poetess by passion, she
started her rebellion by writing blogs. This happened when her father was asked
by a BBC reporter if anyone girl could write about life under the Taliban regime.
The Taliban under Maulana Fazulallah were banning women from
shopping, their right to education, etc. Women were confined to their homes
having lost their freedom to express. Amidst all this, Malala was bold to have
started writing for BBC. Once her articles made it to the dailies, she rose to
fame. She was criticised a lot. She was hunted by the Taliban too.
Through her diaries to the BBC, she was being an education
activist. She was fighting for her rights back. She un-hid the hidden. She is believed to have risen to
fame through her aggressive ways of fighting back for the right to education
and peace at the Swat district, Pakistan. Her approach to oppression was done
in a methodical way such that everyone could relate to it and sympathize.
At an age where she should be playing with the kids of her
age, she resort to peace and politics with late Benazir Butto being her
inspiration. Her ambition was to become a politician and she worked towards it
by convening various gatherings among children of her age. She was active on
facebook too. But due to constant threats and fake profiles in her name, she
had to delete her personal account. Amidst all these threats, she continued to
built upon the momentum to throw the Taliban from Pakistan.
Owing to her activities, the Taliban decided death was the
ultimate decision and they issued a shoot at sight order. One fine day, She was
shot in the neck and head while returning from school. As of now she has been
sent to the United Kingdom for special treatment.
Human atrocities have no bounds. A determined child who had
the sense to fight for her rights was forcefully shutdown. Incidents like these
prove that recovery from human misery is just a dream dreamt by only a few and
it shall always stay that way.
