Astonishing, how the mainstream media are swooning over Malala (who is indeed amazing) without ever wondering where she came from, becoming so outspoken the Taliban shot her. A simple teacher's daughter?

Media concealing Malala’s progressive background:
We have been told of Malala’s blogs and interviews with global news groups, but her involvement with the Marxists of Swat (of all the places) tends to be ignored. Malala Yousafzai attended its National Marxist Youth School in Swat in July this year.The so-called ‘free’ media conveniently ignored what Mr Naqvi highlighted in his column. Malala’s father held progressive left-wing views. He was ideologically educated by Faiz Mohammad, Malala’s maternal uncle. Comrade Faiz Muhammad is a committed communist and has been struggling to organise the youth and the workers, in Swat and Malakand, against the fundamentalist as well as state repression.
