A slightly dated, yet an engaging commentary on Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank model, by IIMA’s M. S. Sriram.
This has not been without controversies, without a fair share critics and also without a few eyebrows raised as to whether this was indeed such a revolution that deserved the coveted prize. There have been some political commentators who have tried to link both Pamuk and Yunus together as being moderates and therefore this price being seen as a subtle message to the Islamic fundamentalists. Firstly fundamentalists do not take subtle messages. Secondly taking that line of argument is at best an insult for both the works of Pamuk and Yunus, because what they have created merit such a recognition irrespective of which part of the world they come from and what their religion is.
