Malala, Satyarthi & 99.8%ile in CAT
Yeah, today is one of those days. The day when you get to hear a self-absorbed, ignorant and opinionated rant.
- You just have to toe the
lines of a western NGO to get this award nowadays
- If the NGO is run by a
certain section of the society, it is never recognized, because the west
hates these guys
- it is just a token award
during times of war between India & Pakistan
- Just recount what you were
doing at the following ages
- 11 - fighting with your
younger brother over who gets the remote
- 13 - fighting with
the neighbouring society kids over who had won the toss before the inter
cricket match
- 15 - fighting with your
parents who are forcing you to study for your 10th board exams
- 17 - fighting again with
your parents over not being allowed to go to Goa with your friends after
the 12th board exams
- Now, just replace it with
the following life events
- 11-13 - writing a personal
blog against the Taliban about your opinion on promoting girls' education
in the Swat Valley which makes you world famous
- 15 - being shot in the head
by terrorists while you were travelling in your school bus and being
unconscious and critical for so long after that
- 16 - speaking on education
for the girl child at the U.N headquarters
- 17 - getting the Nobel
prize
- 26 - Give up your career and
dedicate yourself to the cause against child labour
- 50 - Be on all the major
panels working towards child development
- 55 - Be awarded all the
major nations in the world for your work except your home country
- 60 - get the Nobel prize
- Yup, it's a west funded
award and they will have their own criteria. If you are handing out some
recognition or award, wouldn't you want the winners to have followed some
of your own criteria rather than wait for the respective governments to
nominate someone from the yearly quota.
- Yup, there would have been
more deserving winners, but I am pretty sure that those guys would be the
last guys to be worried about it. They would keep on doing their work
- Even if the award is just a
token, it is a token which is recognized globally and will surely bring
more attention to the causes and force the respective governments to take
some hard steps against it.
- about allegations of
financial irregularity against Satyarthi - prove it and you can have a
Well done award from us. Till then keep your trap shut.
