To the world who has gathered all of its attention to the cause which a young brave girl is advocating, I ask, why is it always too late to shed light on the grave problems which the Pakistani society faces?
Malala Yousafzai, a brave 14-year-old girl, who was shot by the Taliban, is spotted fighting the toughest battle at a tender age.
Malala Yousafzai stood up for the cause of girls’ education in the Swat valley, Pakistan, after the Taliban had banned the further education of girls. It was this little angel’s courage that was noticed and heard across the world, when she vented out her emotions on the atrocities of the Taliban.
Writers assess the already adverse situation prevailing in Pakistan relating to radicalism and explain the Malala Yousafzai episode as an extension of the Taliban mindset. Earlier, there have been several incidents and, sadly, the government of Pakistan failed to accomplish its parameters in this regard. We are at sheer discomfort with sprawling attacks every now and then by the Taliban. Why do we always blame the Taliban factor? Is it the easy method of passing the buck?
Salman Taseer, was penetrated with 27 bullets when he spoke up against the lawlessness against the minorities in Pakistan. Although many politicians supported him on this cause, they backed-off after his murder. How can we change as a society when we are too afraid to stand up against our grave problems?
We should be ashamed of not building up the courage to bring down the root causes. The whole society, individually or collectively, fails to look at the pertaining issues. Today, the matter of terrorism is the cancer of our society, which is brutally killing the minds and hearts of the people. We are so afraid to stand up or speak out and have no courage to admire or even support our own souls. Malala Yousafzai, who was not the product of our society produced the courage in her, despite a number of threats from left, right and center. Far less privileged, as compared to rest of the people of Pakistan who are technologically advanced and well secure, she didn’t let the element of courage leave her.
Her father, speaking to the media, said lately that surgeons in Pakistan worked for days to save her life after removing a bullet from her neck. Mr. Yousafzai said he was grateful for all their efforts.
“The way they saved my daughter was miraculous,” he said. He said he had stayed in daily contact with medical staff in Birmingham, but had not yet been able to speak to his daughter.
“She is all right. She is improving day by day, inshallah,” he said. “It has been difficult not being with her but at least we knew she was getting better.”
Malala Yousafzai has written a new chapter in the world’s book with her courage and belief in herself; she has achieved galore prayers to fight through this challenge.
