She is the youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate in history, having received it at only 16 years old in 2013. As soon as she could write at 11 years old, she started an anonymous blog expressing her preoccupation about the Taliban’s increasing control of her native Swat valley, where they prevented girls from going to school. Her popular activism brought a death warrant against her that ended in an attempt on her life. She was severely wounded but miraculously survived only to return to activism with increased determination.

She spoke at the UN headquarters in 2013 and called for worldwide access to education and TIME magazine featured her as one of “The 100 Most Influencial People in the World.” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon described the global inspiration that Malala symbolized as a brave and gentle advocate of peace who through the simple act of going to school became a global teacher.”

One of the greatest and most influential filmmakers of all times, he was born in Calcutta into a family of Bengali intellectuals.

Throughout his life, this master of the moving image favored a minimalist approach, though he was certainly capable also of staging large, spectacular scenes if the script demanded it. But he preferred the intimate story to the grand epic, and was a poet of the human condition, the comedy or tragedy of ordinary men and women. In his films, he explored the themes of coming of age, spiritual awakening, feminism, natural catastrophes, and mythology. His work reflected in microcosm the ever-changing manners and mores of India.
