<p>Pakistani teenage activist Malala Yousafzai today said that her winning the Nobel Peace Prize jointly with Kailash Satyarthi shows the world that an Indian and a Pakistani can be united in peace and work together for children's rights.<br /><br /></p>.<p>"I am also honoured to receive this award together with Kailash Satyarti, who has been a champion of children's rights for a long time. Twice as long, in fact, than I have been alive," said the 17-year-old girl in her speech after winning the coveted prize at a ceremony here.<br /><br />Malala, who was shot by the Taliban in 2012, said ,"I am also glad that we can stand together and show the world that an Indian and a Pakistani can be united in peace and together work for children's rights."<br /><br />Malala, who was nominated in the peace prize category last year also, became the youngest ever Nobel laureate.<br /><br />She kept the audience in splits with her humour.<br /><br />"I am pretty certain that I am also the first recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize who still fights with her younger brothers. I want there to be peace everywhere, but my brothers and I are still working on that," she said amid peals of laughter.<br /><br />Satyarthi also expressed his delight at being awarded alongside Malala, saying, "Many things are happening today and the best thing that happened is that a young and courageous Pakistani girl has met an Indian father and the Indian father met the Pakistani daughter."<br /><br />He lauded Malala's courage and spirit in his speech.<br /><br />"We have utterly failed in imparting an education to our children. An education that gives the meaning and objective of life and a secure future. An education that builds a sense of global citizenship among the young people. I am afraid that the day is not far when the cumulative result of this failure will culminate in unprecedented violence that will be suicidal for humankind," Satyarthi said.<br /><br />"Yet, young people like Malala, are rising up everywhere and choosing peace over violence, tolerance over extremism, and courage over fear," he said.</p>
