Hats off to Malala and Satyarthi!

This year's prestigious Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded jointly to Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi. Malala Yousafzai is the youngest Nobel Prize winner and was awarded this prize for being vocal about children's education in Pakistan; while Kailash Satyarthi was awarded for fighting against child labour, slavery and trafficking in India. Lots of felicitations to them.

Finally, Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize jointly which is a great news for all the Asians, especially the South Asians. The whole South Asia is today affected with several problems and the situation may not improve easily.

Though Malala is a well-known figure, yet it is for the first time that we got introduced with Kailash Satyarthi. They both have fought a lot for children's education and rights. Although they are the citizens of the two ever rival countries, their objective was the same. Let us hope that both of them would continue their work for humanitarian causes which would motivate millions of people.
