Malala is important

Malala is recuperating in Birmingham. Hope she gets well soon and blossoms back to life. Malala is important because she symbolises everything that the forces of darkness are afraid of.  A young girl ,who loves education and defies all odds to attain it, is the worst nightmare of obscurantists. Malala is also important because she has the clarity, simplicity and truthfulness of a child. It took 14 yrs old Malala to say what many grownups in Pakistan could not. It was the audacious Malala who told her countrymen living in self-delusional state of denial that "the emperor has no clothes."
