[By selecting (much better known) Malala and (far lesser known, regardless of a number of international awards) Satyarthi, on the face of it, the committee, more than rewarding the "actual achievements", has elected to highlight two issues of seminal importance - a girl child's right to education (and Malala is a living and no doubt by far the most glaring symbol, regardless of "actual achievements"), and a child's right to childhood. And by pairing these two an obvious message has been publicly sent out to the two constantly feuding neighbouring states. Obviously, neither government can be too happy about this (unfavourable) limelight. And "nationalists", on both sides of the divide, can of course very well fantasise about "Western conspiracy" underlying all these. The reaction from the Pak extremists could hardly be any different in tone and tenor. Birds of a feather flock together.]

Posted by:rajivmalhotra2001 Sent anonymously: The exploitation of the prevalence of child labour has been a great subject to downimage India in the West. The situation of child labour is highly condemnable, no doubt but if you go through the archives of statements of leading(?) westerners, newspapers and columns you will find them targeting India most despite the fact that the same illness( of child labour) is very much existing in several ex-colonies in Africa and southern America. But as these countries were not emerging as world economic power to break the hegemony of the West, the cases of such horrible child labour and rings after rings of syndicate thriving child sex rackets therein were not talked that much and made forgot about any war-cry while being loud on India! On the instigation of Pakistan supporters in US Congress and Senate, the first serious attack was to secure ban on the sale of Rugs and carpets from Mirzapur-Varansi region in USA in 1990s as Pakistan carpets were losing out! Irony is that Pakistan's complete carpet business is majorly dependent on child labour but such ban on sale was only meted on India. During the 1990s, Satyarthi was instrumental in convincing many European countries to boycott Indian carpets made with child labour. He was helped by some Western activists to develop a self-certification label for Indian carpets headed for export that said they were made without of child labour which was completely and falsely labelled in the looms of Pakistan with 75% children working there. Pakistan's export of carpets trebled while India lost out. In 1994, the certification trademark was called Rugmark which is now known as GoodWeave International. Each time Satyarhti spoke bad about India at the platform of Harvards, and on Washington Posts, he came back home with a trophy of this Prize or that Prize. The deep western conspiracy against India is highly reflected in the book which Bupinder Zutshi co-authored ( “Globalization, Development and Child Rights”) with Satyarthi in 2006. This is the same Zutshi who teaches at JNU, and was involved in a Project on Evaluation of Food Support from USAID for Education Initiative in India through the Catholic Relief Services (CRS), Sponsored by the USAID. He is the same man who poohs poohs India's economic rise in all his 10 International Projects, books and articles. (http://www.jnu.ac.in/FacultyStaff/ShowProfile.asp?SendUserName=bzutshi) http://www.jnu.ac.in/FacultyStaff/ShowProfile.asp?SendUserName=bzutshi%29 . Satyarthi's daughter Miss Asmita was sent to a Sepoy training centre in USA known as the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (1700 Diagonal Road, Suite 625 Alexandria, Virginia 22314 USA; +1 703 837 6313 email: [email protected] mailto:[email protected] ) though she has been groomed already in USA since 2005 being trained and made to hate India in her studies at University of Iowa Center for Human Rights,(2005; where she got scholarship without any perfect GRE score generally required by an Indian!), and also through her work as Intern for US Senate. You have to see what specific Congressional hearings she attended where India was bashed! As an Intern, she used to meet Hilary Clinton regularly in post-Monica days. No wonder, Mme Clinton recomended her father's name for Nobel Prize way way back in early 2000s! This year, was the most suitable slap time and denouncement for India by the India-bashing cronies at Nobel by awarding Satyarthi when a Child Labour Chai wala has become Prime Minister!
