Satyarthi, Malala receive the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo

Oslo, Dec 10 (IBNS): In a proud moment for India and Pakistan, Kailash Satyarthi and Malala Yousafzai received the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize amid thunderous applauds at a ceremony in Oslo in Norway on Wednesday.
The duo received the award for their fight against the oppression of children and their right to education.
 
Satyarthi, 60, and Yousafzai, 17, shared the $1.1-million Peace Prize.
 
To make the occasion even more special the Nobel Committee made maestros Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Amjad Ali Khan perform at the Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony.
 
Satyarthi, who gave up a career as an electrical engineer in 1980 to campaign against child labour, headed various forms of peaceful protest.
 
His organization Bachpan Bachao Andolan (Save the Childhood Movement) has been credited with freeing more than 80,000 child labourers in India over 30 years.
 
He estimates that about 60 million children are still at work.
 
On the other hand the Pakistani teen dominated Noble coverage in the media. The youngest ever Nobel laureate had survived a near-fatal attack by the Taliban in 2012 for advocating girls’ right to education.
