About The Book

I Am Malala is the awe-inspiring autobiography of Malala Yousafzai, the young Pakistani girl who defied the Taliban to fight for girls' right to education. Translated from English to Marathi by Supriya Vakil, this book tells the courageous and emotional story of Malala's life—one that has touched hearts worldwide.

Born in the Swat Valley, Malala grew up under the oppressive rule of the Taliban, where girls were forbidden from attending school. However, her determination to continue her education led her to speak out, becoming an outspoken advocate for girls' education. On October 9, 2012, when Malala was only 15 years old, she was shot in the head by the Taliban while riding a bus home from school. Miraculously, she survived and began a journey of global influence.

The book chronicles her story from her peaceful yet tumultuous life in Pakistan to becoming an international symbol of resilience, peace, and the fight for education. At just sixteen years old, Malala became the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize nominee, and her voice continues to inspire people worldwide.

Through this memoir, we learn about her family's sacrifices, especially her father, who encouraged her to pursue her education despite the societal pressures that prioritize sons over daughters. I Am Malala is not just about one girl's battle for her right to learn, but also about the power of one voice to ignite a movement for change.
