Pakistan's teenage rights activist Malala Yousufzai, shot in the head by the Taliban, is "up and walking," her father said after visiting her for the first time at a specialised UK hospital, where she is recovering at "an encouraging speed".
'We need to celebrate those that buck the stereotype, such as Malala, Toorpekai, and Ziauddin Yousufzai in Pakistan. But, by the same token, we also need to condemn blind adherence to tradition in the urban, civilised areas of the West as in the case of Savita Halappanavar,' says T V R Shenoy.
Malala Yousufzai, the teenage Pakistani activist shot in the head by the Taliban for advocating girls' education, has thanked people around the world for their inspiring and humbling support.
