‘I am Malala’: But then, we all are Malalas, aren’t we?
Malala: The teenage heroine-February 17, 2014
When Malala Yousafzai published her autobiography ‘I am Malala’ in October 2013, written with the British journalist Christina Lamb, it caused an international sensation.
Hundreds and thousands of copies of the book were instantly sold out; many favourable reviews appeared in the global press. She was hosted to a dozen of talk shows, interviews and discussions, including the one she had at the John F Kennedy Library in USA. Wherever she went, she was hailed as a young heroine. She had rare audiences with US President Barack Obama and Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain.
