One group of people are convinced that everything about Malala is fake, second group of people think she has brought laurels to Pakistan.
Let’s not judge her, let’s analyse her journey of fame & accomplishment & let’s raise neutral questions for neutral answers:
1. She loved to pursue her education. Not few hundreds, but hundreds of thousands of girls around the globe pursue education. What is so different here, what is unique in this case?
2. Malaga’s love for education in the middle of western war against Taliban became a popular subject for BBC & CIA. Did western media attempt to create a symbol of girls education with the hidden agenda to target Taliban directly and indirectly Pakistan and Islam? Was it meant to portray Taliban as enemy of girls education by creating cults. Was it meant to create an image of insecure & intolerant Pakistan and Islam? Was it part of popular campaign to discredit Islam?
3. Taliban attacked Malala and shot her along with 2-3 other girls. Why Malala was taken for treatment abroad and picked as symbol of Taliban atrocity, leaving other injured girls back in Pakistani hospitals? Does anyone remember even names of other girls injured in the incident?
4. Why bullet to Malala was a subject of international significance and why bullets to other girls in the same vehicle was just another terror incident out of 80,000 terror victims in Pakistan.
5. Malala was treated in England and fortunately she recovered. Later on, she got citizenship of England. How come somebody becomes an idol just because she survived a terror attack? She could be sympathised for being victim, how come a surviving victim becomes eligible for Oscar Award followed by a series of International awards & recognition?
6. Aitzaz Hasan Khan, a 14 years old boy stopped a suicide bomber to enter a school and saved hundreds of children while sacrificing his own life, Is he not a bigger heroic story than just becoming a target of terrorist like Malala?
7. Is there any other incident in the history when a Terror attack surviving person was awarded Oscar & other International recognition? Just because she loved education and she survived terror attack?
8. Do Oscar & other International awards also look like a western agenda to make cults and symbols to promote their own agenda?
9. Does western media & institutions can turn an ordinary incident into Oscar qualification? like a Hollywood movie?
10. What is Malala’s accomplishment? Let’s summarise here:
Loving education as a child.
Surviving a lethal bullet?
Getting World’s best treatment?
Speaking and writing against Taliban?
Freedom of expression to speak against Pakistan military and not speaking against Israeli atrocities?
Writing a book under the supervision of her father and some behind the scene guidance? touching sensitive issue related to politics of Pakistan and extremism in Islam.
Standing united with Salman Rushdie?
Collecting funds for girls education? and announcing her vows to work for girls education. I have yet to see a girls school of some Standard in her native town Swat run by her funds?
Does above accomplishment qualifies her for Oscars, other International awards and attention? Is there any other example of such fame and recognition in the world with such insignificant accomplishment?
What is the purpose of turning an ordinary story into world’s great stories?
Sharmeen Obaid Chenoy is another example of such conversion of ordinary work into International recognition by western media and yes by Academy Awards.
What is common between Malala and Shermeen Chinoy?
1. Both female.
2. One victim of terror attack and one filming an acid attack on a woman.
3. One Academy award and one Oscar award.
4. Both symbols of reflecting maltreatment of women in Pakistan but projecting Internationally.
5. Both without any achievement to practically help women in Pakistan though receiving international funds under the same pretext.
6. Did anyone of the two women made an achievement like SKMH, Edhi and hundreds of other welfare success stories in Pakistan?
Try answer these questions, it might clear our minds. I can guarantee that no liberal critique will even try to explore answers to these questions.
Answering these questions can unfold truth, those living under fake shades of modernity would be scared to touch these questions.
