Abstract

The article profiles Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani teenager who was shot allegedly by members of the Taliban Islamic fundamentalist militant group in October 2012 in retribution for her advocacy of girls' educational rights. It recounts her upbringing and describes the blog she wrote under the pseudonym Gul Makai, in which she discussed life under Taliban rule. The author also discusses the January 2012 murder of his father, Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer, following his statements opposing the prosecution of Christians under the country's blasphemy laws.
