My 98th Post: Malala Yousafzai


Malala Yousafzai, a normal Pakistani girl who raised her voice for the education of girls in SWAT....she stood against the most feared group known as 'Taliban'....during her struggle and her stands, she was targeted to put her out of the way....she was shot with a single bullet which went through her head, neck and ended in her shoulder....though her photo after the operation doesn't shows that type of operation's scars or was she shaved but am not a doctor so I wouldn't understand that...well miraculously, after her surgery of three hours in a military hospital of Peshawar, she survived and now is living her life peacefully in UK that is because of the continuous threats from Taliban as they say so....
There is no doubt about Malala's actions taken against the Taliban and her fight for justice for the need of education for girls in SWAT....but was it so strong that she became a national hero and a day is named after her? surely she was an activist and was doing something really good but a question arrives here that WHY was the US government so much influenced by her? To be honest, there are many who are dying daily for causes like this but no one got such a recognition till yet...this 16 year old girl stood against Taliban and she was victimised by them and then was lifted to the heights of the sky.....why?
There are many conspiracies made up upon the attempt of assassination of Malala and mostly there are people who say that this is just a drama, a skit played just to build up a reason for further destruction in Pakistan and to ignite a reason for the future attacks on the Taliban territories....am not
siding Taliban, no that ain't my intention here...the acts of Taliban itself, under the name of Islam, are most of the time crossing the limits....but still, that is where most of the reasoning ends....
It is a nice thing that the US government aided this girl and the Pakistani government helped her in the medical bills but still, isn't this going to far? Malala's friends, Shazia Ramazan and Kainat Riaz, were also shot in that incident...those who don't know, let me tell them that they are given special protection by the government as the Taliban threats to attack them....Shazia is now in UK and is studying there while Kainat decided to stay here in Pakistan in her own home....these girls weren't from a rich background so it means that Shazia's studies are also funded by the UK government so some other government.....
I am really not getting any logic behind this all....a foreign government helping out in a case, which is amongst many, by spending a large sum of their funds just because a tribe in a country which is none of its business attacked a girl and upon all this, that intruding government claims no other motive rather than fighting for that innocent girl's cause....does it even makes sense in this era? No one does that these days....specially the treatment Malala is getting, no one gives that without any personal motive.....
This Malala case has given a reason to super power countries to carry on their operations upon the Taliban group and with that, more drone attacks are occurring....I don't know whether the governments check the death poll or not but in those attacks, there are more innocent lives lost compared to the ones they are really aiming for....so just because of the attack upon one innocent girl, many other innocents are going to lose their lives....am not saying that she shouldn't get her rights, but there are other ways for that....killing innocents to avenge an innocent is just out of question.....
In the Malala case, there are few posts where one can read the comments of the Taliban....they have named Malala as a spy of the west because she was blogging about her conditions to them....they believe that she was on the ideology of the modern world....there statement is that she was defying Islam in her ways like I read in her case study that the girls, after protests, were allowed to go to schools by wearing a burqa(veil) but Malala didn't liked it....Taliban says, “We did not attack her for raising voice for education. We targeted her for opposing mujahideen and their war.”
This all looks like a personal battle so why did US intervene where as it isn't even a Muslim country....it wanted to aid Malala, that is good but how can it judge the future actions and if it can then it is one strong nation, why can't it end this quickly without hurting further innocents....there was once a lady known as Dr. Aafia Sidique....what about her? why was she treated brutally? Taliban wasn't involved in that case but there they said that she was a part of Al-Qaida, so another story....why isn't anyone rising against the actions taken upon her from other countries as they did upon Malala and why isn't a day named after her? She was working hard for Islam and was a positive activist but what happened, she fell and wasn't seen afterwards in daily life...
I really don't believe in Malala's story and what I have read about her, just tells me that it is just a government politics, nothing else....making a girl a symbol of sympathy and charging under her veil is what I think is happening....well it is upon all of you that what you choose but in the end, the truth can only be known by the people involved and Allah....
