India's Kailash Satyarthi and Pakistan's Malala Yousafzai were awarded the Nobel peace prize 2014 jointly for "showing great personal courage and in their struggle against the suppression of children and for the right of all children to education".
Child labour activist Satyarthi became India's 8th Nobel laureate while the champion for children's education Malala became her country's second citizen to be given the most coveted prize. Malala is also the youngest to be awarded the globally prestigious annual prize.
Congratulation to both winners and to Indian and Pakistani people.

It's surely important socio-politically! It shows that the prize is not dependent on age or gender or socio-economic status. The winning the prize at an early age by Malala will encourage young people, even ladies that they have a chance to gain recognition for good works, for bravery and courage. Kailesh and Malala show the world that persons from developing countries are just as eligible for the Nobel Peace prize. Beating other contestants from developed countries, who seem to be so well known shows that at time decisions are not politically related.
Congratulation to both winners and to Indian and Pakistani people.

Thanks Prof. Kamal and Prof Behrouz for your kind words extended to all Indians and Pakistanis. Being Indian I can say that it is certainly very very important socially and politically for these two nations. In long run God may give good sense to our political/army peoples to be friendly as desired by countrymen of these nations. regards
