Celebrating heroes in our midst

By Munir Quddus

Nearly four decades after gaining independence, as we celebrate victory against tyranny and oppression, Bangladeshis have much to celebrate. Among the many blessings we should appreciate as a people are the many fine civic leaders that the nation has produced during these years. Bangladeshi citizens such as Dr Muhammad Yunus of the Grameen Bank and Fazle Hasan Abed of BRAC are amongst the most honoured and recognised global citizens today and each of them brings great honour to their country. Both have earned their reputation as among the foremost experts and anti-poverty crusaders in the world today. As a nation, we can and must do more, not just to celebrate their success but also take advantage of the talents of these modern-day living heroes to build the nation to greater heights.

Dr Muhammad Yunus, the founding chair of the world famous, Grameen Bank, is a globally known public intellectual and an activist. Based on his work of long 35 years, the Grameen Bank and Dr Yunus were awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize for Peace. In 2009, he became the only Bangladeshi (and perhaps the only Asian) to receive the United States President's Medal of Honor. In 2010 he was honoured again by the Congressional Medal of Honor, the highest

Muhammad Yunus and the Nobel Prize

The Nobel Work of Muhammad Yunus and the Not So Noble Prize

With the announcement of the Nobel Peace Prize to Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank, it appears that everyone has reason to celebrate. There is wide agreement that Yunus is fully deserving of the highest recognition: he launched the idea of ‘microcredit’, or the grant of very small loans to the destitute who are incapable of offering any collateral. This is a far-reaching idea, since loans are generally given by banks against collateral or assets, and the poor have traditionally been excluded precisely because of their inability to offer any surety. The Grameen Bank that Yunus founded over three decades ago has so far given out 6.6 million loans, averaging around $130 each, and it claims from its borrowers, who are overwhelmingly women, an astounding repayment rate of 98 percent. The Nobel Prize citation states, in justification of the award to Yunus, that ‘economic growth and political democracy cannot achieve their full potential unless the female half of humanity p
