The 61st most powerful woman in the world by Forbes


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.
