    Also i heard she is from the government. I just HEARD. im not saying its true
    It's better to be as far away as possible from the camera so the Taliban don't happen to attack her again if she happens to go to pakistan. It's for her own good. Why do you think a lot of victims of suicide bombers like to remain anonymous?

      I think she should let this matter go for now. Shes too young. She should focus on her studies cuz thats whats best for her. She can be a good role model later on.

        Ditto. They have all but been forgotten and this bothers me.

        Malala has been 'transformed' into a media figure by a very politically ambitious father.

        Yes, education is important. Yes, fighting for education is important.

        Taking the bullet in the way that she did makes Malala a remarkable symbol of resistance. That I completely respect. But being educated at one of the most elite private schools in the UK was not what Malala was fighting for, right? What about the millions of other Pakistani kids, especially the Pashtun girls who will just not have those opportunities?

        Should we not direct our energies towards the countless other victims too? In fact, should we not do that more so?

          I felt the same exact way. All we can hope for her to use this fame, to build schools. I hate to say it, but this book is a big waste of time and I am not happy nor fond of it. Take the money, and build some schools in Mingora with top notch teachers to prepare our future. We don't need more autobiographies, or whatever you call these things. I understand milking the issue might be of worth, but do remember millions of children have died in the past 3 decades, and the least we can do is take constructive steps. Malala has the platform to do that, and she should not waste her time reiterating what we already know, nor am I happy with the fact that her dad wants her to be a politician. Be an educator.

          A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

          For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


          The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!
