Don't bask in reflected glory
The die is cast! The coterie of all-powerful (perhaps 1%) have decided that Dr Yunus must go. His appeal (DS 08 May) will fall on deaf ears. Reading your illuminating article “Achievements in 10 'unlawful' years” on 6th, I wish all our government, semi-autonomous, NGOs and private sector could have 'unlawful' heads. If only 25% is achieved compared to Dr Yunus' 'illegality', Bangladesh will be a semi-developed country within 2 years!! So what next? As the honourable man that he is, Dr Yunus has no alternative but to return all the 110 ++ accolades, including the Nobel Prize, that were showered on him (and Bangladesh) during the time he was in an 'illegal and unlawful' chair by dozens of governments/institutions at home and abroad. If his own government, disowns, defames, dishonours and demeans a person, then they have no right to bask in the reflected glory of his reputation.
