This time they hit the mark. Good choice.

Hers is a Nobel Prize in courage.

Malala's story is nothing short of amazing.

Who trolled about this back in 2012: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014297316

to win a Nobel prize for their country.

I wish Pakistan had full opportunities for women to get educated without oppression but even more so, for men to get educated in the liberation of women.

Congratulations to the courageous and articulate Malala - she deserves the prize.

Pakistanis should not give opportunities for women to get freely educated and be liberated?

Or do you mean Pakistani men should not be trained in not being misogynistic and treat girls and women as equals?

you are accusing an entire people of things done by certain people.

All men everywhere need education about rape. (Ever heard of Steubenville?)

However, the last time I checked, no Indian girl was pumped full of bullets just because she was getting an education.

There is a saying .... if the shoe fits ....

Show me a link from a reputable source where girls have dropped out of school.

Also, India now has a new government led by Narendra Modi and rape victims will get swift justice.

PS: The OP is about Malala Yusufzai and not about India or rape. Unfortunately, Pakistani obsession with India eventually takes over. Are you saying, "some Indian women get raped so it is okay for Pakistanis to pump bullets into teenage girls?"

Terima kasih, tapi itu tidak relevan!

The poster you are supporting said women leave school for fear of rape -- nothing you cited states that.

Poverty and need to earn are age-old reasons to not get educated. How many Americans don't go to college for the same reason where poverty is miniscule as compared to India?

The woman poster claimed Indian women leave school for fear of rape -- there is absolutely no evidence to suggest such a false charge.

Regardless of what another poster has said to you, a huge amount of young girls drop out of school in India due to having to work and/or forced marriage, a fact that should be highlighted and not be ignored.

I was responding to the poster who had created a non-sequitur of rape because she didn't like my sarcastic comment that "Pakistanis had to shoot a teenager with bullets to win a Nobel prize for their country."

If you had followed the thread, you could have saved yourself the trouble! Thanks anyway.

and pseudoequivalency. India is light-years ahead of Pakistan (which is a failed terrorist state) in any and every attribute of progress you can cite. India has raised itself out of poverty and is now a UN net-donor nation, a net exporter of food, has very robust democratic institutions, independent judiciary, a successful space program and most of all, India doesn't make its living on US aid and terrorism business. Indians have been struggling for human rights since 1854 and the struggle goes on. Satyarthi was not severely opposed by the government or the employers - his main adversaries were the parents of the earning children. It doesn't take away from his great work but I just wanted to clear up the misconceptions.

India already has as many muslims as Pakistan -- so bringing the "two nation" doctrine into the picture by the committee was misguided. India's muslims live happily in a secular society and have started hating Pakistan for inciting communal riots in India which hurt them badly.

Pakistan should be equated with other failed states like Libya or Sudan, not India.

Final point: I congratulated and cheered Malala getting the prize and she deserves it. I also think Satyarthi deserves it but everyone in India thinks the hyphenation and false equivalency are demeaning to India and its accomplishments.

both countries have problems that needed their respective Nobel winners to help address?
