Malalai represents the fighting spirit of the Pashtun people. Although Pashtun people fight among themselves, they always come together to fight a foreign invader. In many respects Malala is fighting a foreign invader in the form of the Taliban. Malala does not consider the Taliban representative of her or her people.
