Mr. Kailash Satyarthi-a fighter won the peace prize: - Satyarthi is a fighter who fights for children future, their education and welfare. Mr Satyarthi has maintained the tradition of Mahatma Gandhi and headed various forms of peaceful protests, "focusing on the grave exploitation of children for financial gain," the committee said at the announcement in Oslo. He has been in front always to raise his voice against child labour in India. Satyarthi who is an engineer, founded the bachchpan bachao aandolan’’ in 1980.he started his work by staging raids in manufacturing units and plants to eliminate bonded labour where the people are sold again and again. Kailash organised the global march against child labour on 1990’s to free the children from child employment/labour. The activist is also founder of rug mark, a widely known international scheme that tags all carpets made in factories that are child-labour free. He is really a true champion in fight to end the child labour.



Malala Yousafzai ... Pakistani child education activist.... At the age of just 17, Malala is the youngest ever recipient of the prize. Malala first came to attention in 2009. She was shot when gunmen boarded her school bus in the swat valley. She was one of time magazine's most influential people in 2013, and awarded the prestigious Sakharov human rights prize .she has worked a lot in girls welfare And have won lots of prizes for women empowerment. Halima mansour in the guardian calls Malala as a young "Pakistani heroine" for her bravery and independence."Malala doesn't want to play to some western-backed or Taliban-loved stereotype. She shows us that there are voices out there, in Pakistan, that need to be heard, if only to help the country find democracy that is for and from the people, all the people." in 2011 she was nominated for the international children's peace prize by the kids rights foundation.

The Nobel committee praised the pair's "struggle against the suppression of children and young people" reacting to the news, Mr. Satyarthi said "it's a great honour for all the Indians, it's an honour for all those children who have been still living in slavery despite of all the advancement in technology, market and economy. “And I dedicate this award to all those children in the world." perhaps Malala is too busy studying in Birmingham to react to winning the Nobel peace prize. As she doesn’t want to skip from a single day of her study .For many Pakistanis, Malala has become a symbol of resistance to the Taliban.A big salute to both of them for bringing india and Pakistan together once again via sharing the Noble Peace Prize.
