Re: [ALOCHONA] Dr Yunus: 2nd in Top 20 Public Intellectuals in Earth

dear mr. haroon,

 

we all are happy to know that some one from BD stood ahead among others, but let us not be so enthusiastic. surely the people on the list are intellectuals, however, my obsevations are,

 

1. this is not the list by UN.

2. you may find a number of such polls by different organizations (.......on the western front)

3. 12 out of 20 on the list are muslims (including first 10), suddenly muslim got recognised ahead of others???

4. only 500,000 votes in a poll to select top intellectuals of the world??? if you organise a poll to select the better one among our 2 lady leaders, you will have more votes from BD only.

 

above is not to demoralize anyone and is just to let us think in the right direction.

 

regards

 

md. shamim iqbal

Dear Alochoks,

Following news published today in the newspaper. Please read on.

Nobel laureate Prof Muhammad Yunus was voted second in the top 100
intellectuals of the world in a global poll hot on the heels of the
University of Cambridge selecting him in its list of top 50 global thought
leaders.

Yunus, chairman of Grameen Bank, came second to a little-known Turkish
Islamic scholar, Fethullah Gulen, who won the survey organised jointly by
Prospect, a British magazine and Foreign Policy, a US publication, reports
British newspaper the Guardian.

The survey attracted 500,000 votes.
