Green Girls
Green Girls of Pakistan rock the ground.

| Pakistan's women cricket team |
This
time Pakistani women rock the cricket ground and made the nation proud as well as our man cricket team did.
Pakistan's women cricket team beat Netherlands by 20 runs in the
rain-shortened match and qualify for the ongoing Women’s World T20, according
to ESPN cric info.
A big Wow for the women team.!!! In a
society infested with forbiddance of women’s freedom thinking about to form a women cricket
team that represent the nation globally is just like asking for the moon. Despite the fact that the women
team largely gone unnoticed and most Pakistanis are still unknowing the fact
that Pakistan has a women’s cricket team, the green girls persistently show
their performance and raise the national flag in International arena.
Although all team members are doing really well in this
scenario but I like to mention the name of Sana Mir, captain of Pakistan’s
cricket team. She led her team to an Asian Games Gold medal in 2010. Her marvelous
leg spin bowling stood her at the 8th step with 607 points in the
list for bowlers. She is the only Pakistani in the ICC T 20
Rankings for women. (click here to read more). Hope Pakistan green girls will
do great in T20.

Burka Avenger, fights for girl’s schools in Pakistan
Burka Avenger, fights for girl’s schools in Pakistan

| Burka Avenger |
Today Geo Tv is going to launch the
first animated series “ Burka Avenger”, is the first South Asian ninja who wields books and pens as weapons.
Wonder
Woman, Cat Woman and Super girl now have a Pakistani counterpart in the
pantheon of female superheroes, Pakistan’s
first ever very own superheroine “The Burka Avenger”. Meet
her; the desi superwoman is
a mild mannered teacher who has secret martial art skills. She uses a flowing
black burqa to hide her identity as she fights local bad people who want to
shut down the girl’s school.
The
action-based cartoon, Burka
Avenger, is a brainchild of pop singer and former band member of Awaz, HaroonRashid, and will make its debut on Geo
TV in early August. The
cartoon is definitely a mirror to our society which suffers at the hands of
extremists — those blowing up schools in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to oppose girls’
education. But limitations only give birth to heroes like Malala Yousafzai and,
now, the Burka Avenger. Haroon said that
the purpose behind this cartoon to emphasize the girl education in Pakistan.

Burka Avenger has yet to launch on TV, but she
is creating quite an impression in a country where female literacy is estimated
at a grim 12% and the Taliban are continuing a campaign which has seen hundreds
of girls' schools blown up in the north-west.
Well
thumbs up!!! Hope that she will leave a
good impact on our society and helps to solve problems or clear the
misconceptions about girl education.

The world must know that we had women governor in Pakistan
(Ra'ana Liaquat Ali Khan) when women in Switzerland were not eligible to cast votes.
The World in general and USA in particular must know that Pakistan had women opposition leader in the times when fragile and black Miss Rosa Parks was being beaten in the bus in Montgomery, Alabama for sitting on the seat reserved for white people.
Pakistan had women Prime Minister twice. Pakistan has had Speaker National Assembly and Governor State Bank.
Recently I was in Quetta, a conservative city, I addressed the students for three days. Halls were packed with girls and boys. No discrimination at all.
Pakistan is a land of diverse cultures. An incident in one part of Pakistan should not be used to malign and tarnish the image of entire Pakistan. Attack on her is condemnable but the way she is being misused, abused and exploited is more condemnable.
The Youngest Microsoft Certified Professional in the world, Arfa Karim, is from Pakistan. The Fastest Women in South Asia, Naseem Hameed, is from Pakistan. Women in Pakistan are flying latest war jets, they are doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs.
If one section in Pakistan is chained and enslaved, that is, media. Give dollars to the owners of TV Channels and newspapers, they can sell their souls.

The innocent and impressionable Malala is being misused to portray image of Pakistan as if it a country of barbaric people where girls are chained and denied of education. The world must know that Pakistan's schools and colleges are full of girls and boys, no discrimination at all. The culture of one tribal belt does not represent Pakistan. By the way, Swat, Malala's home town, has the highest literacy in Pakistan.
