My dearest and adorable friends
Today we will talk of a Political figure unknown to many of
us…
She received the Rafto Prize(Norway) and the Sakharov
Prize(Russia) for Freedom of Thought in 1990 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991.
In 1992 she was awarded the Jawaharlal Nehru Award for
International Understanding by the government of India and the International
Simón Bolívar Prize from the government of Venezuela.
In 2012, the Government of Pakistan awarded her Shaheed
Benazir Bhutto Award For Democracy.
In 2007, the Government of Canada made her an honorary
citizen of that country, the fourth person ever to receive the honour.
In 2011, she was awarded the Wallenberg Medal. On 19
September 2012, she was also presented with the Congressional Gold Medal, which
is, along with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour
in the United States.
And as of 2014, she is listed as the 61st most powerful
woman in the world by Forbes…She is Aung San Suu
Kyi from Burma.
Worldly recognition to this outstanding lady, a follower of
Mahatma Gandhi philosophy of non-violence and also a disciple of Buddhism.
In spite of being placed under house arrest for 15 of the
past 21 years, on numerous occasions. She finally made history by
winning the elections of Burma.
Congratulation to her and all the people of Burma.
