This refers to Dr. Yunus related news. Historically, (a large number of) Bangalees always like to enjoy by humiliating their great sons. One of the 20th century's greatest poet-philosophers and 1913 Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore was bitterly opposed by the contemporary Bangalee writers and pundits of old school. On the contrary, Rabindranath was admired and adored by the educated British in the British India, much before his international recognition. Bangladesh national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam in his time was humiliated by the two Bangalee (orthodox) communities and was abused physically. Now, the inventor of microfinance, the social business concept and 2006 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus is facing the same Bangalee tradition.
