Most criticism of Dr Yunus are unjustified .There is no doubt that Dr Yunus made the group-based micro-credit model (without security) global. He also is trying to make his concept of Social business international. His role in fighting poverty can not be denied. Only mean people do that. There are small faults in the scheme which would go in time.
Even Islamists have accepted the group based model but without interest and based on Islamic investment modes of Bai Muazzal and Murabaha primarily.

As a brilliant economist, Dr. Yunus should be able to withstand some critics. More garlands to a man for his Nobel peace price is basically redundant and should be avoided. Even brilliant Milton Friedman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_Friedman) was attacked vehemently for his economical theories. You want me to give a pass to Dr. Yunus because he is a Bangladeshi and got a prize for us? He got prize on what basis? Why can't he defend his own economic model? Why can't he improve his model? Why can't he setup an Institute (Yunus) with his prize money? Even international donors would shower him with money. What is he waiting for?

It is in our nature to pull back down into the dirt those who achieve more than us. It’s a national trait.
Shah Deeldar and Rahaat Khan are doing this with Prof Yunus.
BNP have done this quite successfully with Zia.
BAL have been the most successful with Bangabandhu.
It is as equally gratifying as it is disappointing that 40 years on the stereotypes continue to hold true.
Well done.
