But still there emerged personalities who by their will
and hard work contributed to the maintenance of peace, promotion of education,
promotion of child and women rights and condemned the terrorism in all shapes. Because
of these people, the deteriorating image of country bounces back for some times
and people outside, than, compel to think that all the people are not
violence-loving, rather few miscreant
people do this for their own interest or the interest of the foreign
nations. One such personality is Malala Yousifzai. Her enlightened outlook in
the rigid society of Swat and her extra-ordinary performance in field of education
impressed upon not only the nationals but people around the world. Because of
her voice for education, women rights and child rights the local extremist
became annoyed and attempted to execute her but she narrowly
escaped from the death. She continued her struggle for the same along with
condemnation of terrorism throughout the world after getting well from the
murder attempt. As an observer of the international organizations and
international missions she visited most of the regions where these things were
absent. Within no time she has became the voice of the needy, voice of the
women, voice of education and the voice of education. Ultimately she became the
icon of unity against the violent element in the world. Malala use to be used
as phrase for “world peace”. The international community while recognizing her
efforts esteems her with the so many international awards and honors. The most
prestigious among them is “Nobel Prize”. Nobel Prize was followed by World’s
Children’s Right and the American Liberty Award. She is also the repository of
Child’s Nobel Prize. Now wherever there is injustice, if no one has the courage
to speak, Malal speaks. The voiceless people got the voice with her person.
The struggle of Malala and her campaign made realized the
people that all the people are not terrorists and extremists in Pakistan. All
the people are not violating the rights of women, children’s and the
minorities. Most of the countrymen have
nothing to do with terrorism, and they should not be blamed because of some
black sheep. Malala’s achievements and struggle created a full fledge Malalain
Group who are busy in the promotion of like-minded or her thoughts. The work of
this group has fastened the movements launched against the extremism.
International community who previously declaring all of Paakistanis as
extremists, are also ashamed and something compel them to think that think from
an another angle. The Pakistani women’s traditional dress was also going to
become a source of extremism. But her appearance in conference with the same
dresses made the people think it has no link with dresses, rather it is
addiction, which has even to those people who wear western dresses. Simple is,
it is eye opening for the rest of the world, if a young girl of just seventeen
years is that much keen to work to promote the ethical values, so many people
of come of age in Pakistan have more
urge to do the same.
She described in her book that one child, one teacher,
one pen and one book can change the world”. One
child can change the world, Anne Frank, Thandiwe Chama, Om Prakash Gurjar etc
have proved it. One book can change the world the religious scriptures like
Bible and Quran Pak, Principa Mathemitica of Newtons, Origin of Spices of
Darwin, Wealth of Nations of Adam Smith and Das Kapital of Karl Marx have
proved it. One teacher can change the world Hazart Muhammad (P.B.U.H), Buddha,
Confuses, Plato, Wilder, Lewis, Locke, Einstein have proved it. One pen can
change the world the pen of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Voltaire, Shakespeare,
Bentham, Al.Hazen, Al.Razi, Hobbes, Galileo etc have proved it. She while doing
so, told the world that yes one child can change the world and one child can be
source of the removal of myths about the country in the minds of the people
outside.
