Description

CLOSE DOWN YOUR SCHOOL... OR YOU WILL PAY THE PRICE. CLOSE DOWN YOUR SCHOOL OR WE WILL KILL YOU. LOCKED AWAY BY AMERICAN MILITARY SOLDIERS IN AFGHANISTAN, PARVANA REFUSES TO TALK TO HER CAPTORS.

HER SILENCE ONLY BAFFLES AND ANGERS THOSE IN CHARGE, LEADING THEM TO QUESTION THE INNOCENCE OF THIS YOUNG SILENT REBEL, SNATCHED FROM THE RUINS OF A BOMBED-OUT SCHOOL.

THEIR ONLY CLUE IS HER DIARY AND A SERIES OF NAMES IN IT THAT THEY HOPE WILL HELP THEM FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED.

THROUGH PARVANA'S STORY, YOU WILL SEE HOW LIVES ARE SHATTERED AND SCATTERED LIKE SHRAPNEL IN A COUNTRY DEVASTATED BY WAR.

YOU WILL ENCOUNTER PEOPLE WAGING THEIR OWN CRUSHING BATTLES: A SINGLE MOTHER STRIVING AGAINST VICIOUS TRADITION TO RUN A SCHOOL FOR GIRLS; YOUNG GIRLS GROWING UP WITH GRIM REALITIES AND DREAMS OF FREE SKIES; AND STUDENTS STRUGGLING TO GET AN EDUCATION THAT WILL GIVE THEM WINGS.

MOST OF ALL, YOU WILL MEET, AND NEVER FORGET, A FEISTY GIRL WHO BELIEVES THAT EVEN IN THE DARKEST HOURS OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION, HOPE SHINES FORTH LIKE THE DESERT SUN. अफगाणिसतानात वरषानवरष चालललया यदधामळ तिथल राजकीय, आरथिक, सामाजिक जीवन ढवळन निघाल आह. तिथलया नागरिकाना दनदिन जीवनासाठी लढाई लढावी लागत आह. तालिबानन अफगाणिसतानवर कललया हललयानतर तथील सतरियावर खप बधन लादणयात आली. मलीचया शाळत जाणयावर बदी आली. मलीचया शाळाच बद पाडलया गलया. सतरियाना नोकरी करणयास मजजाव करणयात आला आणि कपडयावर, सारवजनिक वावरावर जनाट बधन लादली गली. नतर अमरिकन अफगाणिसतानवर हलला करन तालिबानी सतता सपषटात आणली, तरी सरवसामानय लोकाचया आणि सतरियाचया जीवनात काहीच फरक पडला नाही. सतरियाच सथान दययमच राहिल. अशा विपरीत परिसथितीतही परवानासारखी मलगी शिकषणाची, फरानसला जाणयाची- सवाततरयपरण भरारीची सवपन पाहत. अरथातच तयासाठी तिला परचड सघरष करावा लागतो. सकटात सापडललया सतरियाना/ मलीना आधार दणारया वीरा मौसीचया आधारावर ती या सफोटक परिसथितीतन कशी बाहर पडत याच चितरण कल आह 'माय नम इज परवाना' या पसतकात.
