Traditional robes and a scarf on the head make Malala Yousafzai look like other girls of her age, but determined eyes make them special about doing something. Malala, who won the Nobel Prize at the youngest age, is fighting for the right to education. Malala was born on July 12, 1997, to Ziadudin Yousafzai, a teacher in swat area of Pakistan's restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. There was not much practice of sending girls to school, but the little Malala would hold her elder brother's hand and go to school and study with a lot of heart.

Meanwhile, when the taliban moved ahead of Afghanistan and moved towards Pakistan, they started destroying schools after capturing several areas of Swat. The Taliban demolished nearly 400 schools between 2001 and 2009. Out of these, 70 per cent of the schools belonged to girls. The girls were banned from leaving and going to school. Meanwhile, Gul Makai described the world as the enemies of life under taliban rule. Especially about the lives of girls and women.  The diary was posted on the Urdu website BBC in ten instalments between January and March 2009 and created a stir all over the world. For some time, though, it remained a mystery as to who gul makai was, but in December 2009, after the reality of Gul Makai was revealed, the 11-year-old little Malala came under the scanner of the Taliban.

On October 09, 2012, Taliban militants rammed into a bus in which 14-year-old Malala Yousafzai was returning after taking the exam. They shot Malala in the head. Treatment was underway in Pakistan and then went to London for saving Malala's life. He was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in 2014 along with India's child rights activist Kailash Satyarthi. She won the world's most prestigious award at the youngest age.
