Malala Yousafzai traitor or brave hero


Its not about being famed globally but doing something  bigger then yourself, something that adds greater meaning to your life that makes you truly important. Malala Yousafzai is that person, 16 years old girl who stood for girls right to education with courage. She showed the world that what real bravery is by standing tall to a group of Insurgents who had banned girls from getting education. There are very few people round the globe who have courage to do so and that's what makes them special and brings fame to them not the other way round.

Malala long before her assassination attempt at the age of 12 started writing Blog for BBC's Urdu service. It was right after New York Times documentary on her life that she rose to prominence and started giving interviews..Malala has been hounded with Pakistan's National Youth Peace Prize Award and has been nominated for the International Children's Peace Prize and Nobel Peace Prize. Along with many other honors she got the honor of having her name added to ''the 100 most influential people in the World'' and her name being featured on the cover of Times Magazine. 

In light of all these achievements and let me say here all these achievements as a consequence of her brave stand Against Taliban, i seriously don't know why will anyone label her as a traitor and write conspiracy theories against her. I seriously Doubt that she is some agent trying to promote some foreign propaganda, i mean alright it may be possible that her campaign may be used against Pakistan but there simply are no grounds to level accusations against a innocent girl who got shot in the head for standing against a militant faction of the society. It is not fair to project Malala as working against Pakistan and Islam keeping in view that she has not displayed through any of her actions at any single International platform yet.

A question that all of us should ask ourselves is what is Malala's Crime ? is it that she raised voice for Education ? or is it because she refused to cave in to militants as majority of people do ? Keeping in view the first verses of Quran that clearly direct Muslims to learn reading and writing, these questions should not be hard to answer.
