The book title ‘I am Malala’ is about a young Pakistani girl who was shot three times with bullet on head for spreading education in the Muslim society. She has spent her childhood days in Swat, a princely state of Pakistan. Malala doesn’t belong to high class family. She comes from  a very humble family who were always in support of education for all. As a young girl inspired by her father who was by profession, an educationist and the socioeconomic hardship of Swat people moved her heart and mind to enlightened their life with the powerful weapon of pen and book. She saw the desperate need for education for those who were deprived of their basic rights. She saw the ignorance in her sisters, mothers, and brothers of Swat who were defiled with the misguiding and misinterpretation of Koran. She saw that their religion was used as a political weapon by politician, political parties and military groups.  she has decided to fight for the education rights for Muslim women and remove that malady from the hearts and minds of those where were against the education of women.

In this book “I am Malala” she reveals the reality of living in a society where people’s minds are polluted by hatred, discrimination and violence. She tells the world how common people were deprived of their rights such as gender inequalities, child labour, and early marriages and among all education. She fought for the rights of education for girls in her country and she became a target of infidels because they saw her as a threat to their political power and inhuman motive. If one looks at the ground reality, Malala was neither a politician nor a religious leader. Unlike those politician and religious leaders who always threatens people with political turmoil, existence of hell and heaven, Malala started enlightening people’s heart and mind with light of education which is a way to self realization. She was shot by Taliban’s but she survived. Perhaps the world wants people like Malala who can be always looked as a role model to humanity. She truly justifies the goodness of humanity.  She was awarded with Noble Peace Prize in 2014 which symbolizes that wrong can never defeat good and education as the most powerful weapon in the world  for removing the malady of ignorance.
