		Life under Islamic Pakistan or Afghanistan, for instance, has a stereotypical, demonised image in the mind of many Indians who are oblivious to accounts of heroic individuals and groups of men and women, who have staked all they have in the struggle for a just and peaceful society in their countries.
		Meena Keshwar Kamal, and the organisation she founded — the founder of the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA) — are outstanding examples.
		Struggling for the women of her country, Meena was allegedly assassinated by the KGB in cahoots with the Muslim fundamentalist at the young age of 30, in 1987.

		It is a debate that probably stemmed from the fact that Meena’s husband, Faiz Ahmad, was the leader of an Afghan Maoist group (the Afghanistan Liberation Organisation) and that the year RAWA was established was an era when Maoist groups were on the rise.
		Meena was born in Kabul in 1956, where, as a young schoolgirl, she became deeply involved in social activism.
		Influenced by the mass movements of the time, she left university early to devote herself to the education and social upliftment of Afghan women, of which the 1977 founding of RAWA was seen as a necessary step.
