Re: Demystifying Micro Credit -Research work on : The Grameen Bank, NGOs, and Neoliberalism in Bangladesh

By going through the research work I got the shock of my life. I could not concieve that our poor population are exploited by the capitalists in such henious manner and our highly educated people are used as a tool to achieve their goal. If the research work is a foolproof work then an official examination is needed to save dignity of our illetarate & half educated women of rural population. In the name of economic emancipation their dignity should not be compromised.

It is mentioned in the research work the NGO's have more control then the govt. over the population in the rural areas so they can use them as vote bank for a political parties, which they desire for their favour. This gives a grim picture of our social febric is under attack from captalist.I urge to the vatern economists, ofcourse who are not involved in this chain to unearth the matter with facts and figures and adress the matter.

We have seen PRSP& MDG have not achieved as was promised. Open market e conomy made the govt helpless in the matter of controlling the market. It is a dire need to issue ration cards again not OMS as some people resort to purcahse more by using all the family memebrs and sell it to market at higher price thus objective is lost. TCB,COSCOR should be revived in full form to have control over the market by goverment. Open market economy is not suitable for a poor country like us. At the end I hope all the patriotic economists of the country will come forward to stop the mess in our economy.

Research work on : The Grameen Bank, NGOs, and Neoliberalism in Bangladesh

By Lamia Karim, USA


 

This article is an ethnographic study of the effects of micro-credit on gender relations in rural Bangladesh. Focusing on the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner, the Grameen Bank of Bangladesh and three other leading non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the country, I analyze the role of gender in the expansion of globalization and neoliberalism in Bangladesh. The Grameen Bank has become a global symbol of poor women's empowerment and is celebrated for its 98 percent loan recovery. In this article, I examine some of the NGO tactics behind the loan recovery programs. In particular, I examine how Bangladeshi rural women's honor and shame are instrumentally appropriated by micro-credit NGOs in the furtherance of their capitalist interests.
