Malala is very brave and too courageous girl. Whatever she did and in what condition of course she deserve the 1st. She is the real hero.
Malala is the real hero and she got third rank in women but i think she deserved to be the first one. What she did and in what situation i think that is unexplainable in words. She is very brave and too courageous girl. Being as a pakhtun i proud of malala.
Malala is all fake...She will come and sit on our heads probably as a politician in future and would propagate the western agenda here in Pakistan...That is the reason why the west has made her one of the WHO Is WHO of the world based upon her mere sacrifice...There are many others who have sacrificed more than her but Malala and her family is the only one being praised by the west..
Seriously, for what?
Of course she is the world sees her as a role model and Pakistanis see her through the village maulvis cursed eyes...
