Malala shares her birthday with me. UN celebrated her birthday with global audience of her speech on courage against violence. She spoke brilliantly and as a young little girl with her powerful words made many a man cry.
Malala goes down in history in the same league as Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Badshah Khan , Martin Luther King, who stood firmly in fighting violence by non violent means.
Malala has also put Pakistan in a new light. It has restored some image of the country that , it is not all terrorist and corruption, but there are sensible people and only that their voice is generally subdued in the rattle of guns.
The best part of the speech was that she said, she will still not against Taliban and would not harm the man, who shot her. This was such a strong Slap on the face of Talibans, who go and kill innocent civilians and kill school going girls and blow themselves up routinely in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Even the American and the NATO forces have not been able to hit such a strong slap on the face of Talibans as this little girl has done. Both NATO and US forces should have long back used the power of women to fight the Talibans. There are millions of Malalas in Afghanistan, who have endured far too much in terms of whipping, stoning, killing, rape, abuse, but their voice was never made as loud as that of Malala now. Nevertheless, atleast for once, now UN realizes the importance of peace agents.
Malala should be taken as the Peace Ambassador by UN and let her show the world, that Pen will be always mightier then the sword.
As for the US agenda to start talking to Talibans, then they should simply send only Malala as their envoy for talks.
