Attention Engr. Shafiqur Rahman Anu,
We have noticed some of you and your like minded group are very much jealous about the "The Nobel Prize" received by Dr. Mohd Yunus. To be very frank a man like you cannot match with him in any quality whatever way you try. Staying in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman your mentality became like that of foolish Arab mentality. You people are always habituated to respect an Indian Aymatta Sen rather than to recognize your own talent. কথায় আছে ঘরের গরু ঘাঠার ঘাস খায়না। বাইরের ঘাস আপনাদের খুবই পছন্দ। According to your foolish conversation and argument it seems your group are eagerly waiting to honor somebody with Nobel Prize by hook or by crook who is not at all fit for Nobel Prize. Do you think he or she will have any quality to receive such a prestigious Nobel Prize. You have put forward so many arguments by spoiling your valuable time. What I suggest you, you should proceed to Nobel Foundation in Stockholm, Sweden to give your valuable opinion over there. But I don't think you will be accepted by them because of your such types of arguments. Whatever might be it is an established fact a Nobel Laureate like Dr. Yunus always will be Dr. Yunus reaching in such a high position where nobody can reach to dag him by pulling his leg.
Dr. Siraj Uddowllah,
From Canada.
Dear Mr. Morshed Mamun, thanks for your input.
Mother Teresa indirectly meets the objectives and goal of the two (For holding of peace congress and for promotion of peace congress) criteria of five main criteria for NPP.
Other than this, I also mentioned that, "Nobel Peace Prize (NPP) has been awarded to an organisation or to a leading international peacekeeper for participation in peace movements and efforts. The Nobel Peace Prize has been also awarded for work in a wide range of fields including support of human rights, mediation of international conflicts and arms control."
Mother Teresa was operating 517 missions in more than 100 countries. Over the years, Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity grew from twelve to thousands serving the "poorest of the poor" in 450 centers around the world.
In 1979, Mother Teresa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, "for work undertaken in the struggle to overcome poverty and distress, which also constitutes a threat to peace."
Mother Teresa also won the NP prize as she liked peace in the world even if they were a different religion to her.
But please look at her attitude, contrary to our Dr. Mohammad Younus, Mother Teresa had refused the conventional ceremonial banquet given to NPP laureates and asked that the $192,000 funds be given to the poor in India.
When Mother Teresa received the NP prize, she was asked, "What can we do to promote world peace?" She answered "Go home and love your family."
Before Noble Peace Prize, she got other 'peace' prizes also.
In 1971, Paul VI awarded Mother Teresa the first Pope John XXIII Peace Prize, commending her for her work with the poor, display of Christian charity and efforts for peace.
Mr. Morshed Mamun, still Mother Teresa did not deserve Noble Peace Prize?
Mother Teresa was honoured by both governments and civilian organisations.
Universities in both the West and in India granted her honorary degrees.
Mother Teresa was awarded the Padma Shri in 1962 and the Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding in 1969. She continued to receive major Indian awards in subsequent years, including India's highest civilian award, the Bharat Ratna, in both 1972 and 1980.
In 2010, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of her birth, the government of India issued a special 5 Rupee coin
Other civilian awards include the "Balzan Prize" for promoting humanity, peace and brotherhood among peoples was awarded to her in 1978 and the Albert Schweitzer International Prize in 1975
During her lifetime, Mother Teresa was named 18 times in the yearly Gallup's most admired man.
She was appointed an honorary Companion of the Order of Australia in 1982, "for service to the community of Australia and humanity at large."
The United Kingdom and the United States each repeatedly granted awards, culminating in the Order of Merit in 1983, and honorary citizenship of the United States received on 16 November 1996.
Mr. Morshed Mamun, still Mother Teresa did not deserve Noble Peace Prize?
Who told there was no criticism against Mother Teresa? Engineer Shafiqur Rahman Anu you don't know the difference of Nobel Peace prize and Noble as you wrote in place of Nobel as Noble. How you criticize the recipient of Nobel peace prize Dr. Yunus.
Towards the end of her life, Mother Teresa attracted some negative attention. The journalist Christopher Hitchens was one of her most active critics. He was commissioned to co-write and narrate the documentary "Hell's Angel" about her for the British Channel 4 after, an Indian Aroup Chatterjee encouraged the making of such a programme.
Mr. Chatterjee writes that while she was alive Mother Teresa and her official biographers refused to collaborate with his own investigations. He gives as examples a report in The Guardian in Britain whose "stringent (and quite detailed) attack on conditions in her orphanages ... and charges of gross neglect and physical and emotional abuse",
Mother Teresa has also been criticized for her view on suffering. She felt that suffering would bring people closer to Jesus.
The quality of care offered to terminally ill patients in the Homes for the Dying has been criticised in the medical press.
Hitchens and Stern have said Mother Teresa did not focus donated money on alleviating poverty or improving the conditions of her hospices, but on opening new convents and increasing missionary work.
Mother Teresa accepted donations from the autocratic and corrupt Duvalier family in Haiti and openly praised them.
We have to accept both and praise and constructive and rational criticism (though it is bitter) !!!
So, Mr. Morshed Mamun, please try to call spade a spade!

What's ur point ? Younus is not worthy of Noble Peace prize as no contribution in basic 5 elements. Fine agreed.Mother Teresa also no contribution in these basic 5 elements but didn't see any Indians degrading her.Aso lay amra hingsute nation with very narrow mind.

The Nobel Prize, the Nobel Peace Prize and Controversy
The Nobel Prize:
The Nobel Prize is a prestigious international award administered by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm, Sweden.
In 1901 the Nobel Prize was founded and funded by Mr. Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite.
Since 1901, the Nobel Prize has been awarded in every year for significant achievements in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature and for Peace.
Since 1968, Sveriges Riksbank established The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Mr. Alfred Nobel, founder of the Nobel Prize.
Each prize consists of a medal, personal diploma, and a cash award
Nobel Prize is given in these specific disciplines for important contribution in these particular field or subject.
There is prescribed guideline for selecting nominees for Nobel Prize. The Nobel Committee organizes a report of the selected nominees reflecting the advice of experts in the relevant fields only.
The Nobel Peace Prize (NPP):
Similarly there is some guideline for selecting nominees for Nobel Peace Prize (NPP) also.
Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to them (as per the excerpt from the will of Mr. Alfred Nobel) – those have done significant and vital contribution in 5 (equally weighted) following fields and interest shall be divided into five equal parts, which shall be allocated as follows:
The person or an organisation who have done the most or the best work for:
1. The fraternity (alliance) between nations
2. The abolition of standing armies
3. The reduction of standing armies
4. For holding of peace congress and
5. For promotion of peace congress
Nobel Peace Prize (NPP) has been awarded to an organisation or to a leading international peacekeeper for participation in peace movements and efforts. The Nobel Peace Prize has been also awarded for work in a wide range of fields including support of human rights, mediation of international conflicts and arms control.
But, unfortunately, it was not always been the case and controversy arises.
The Nobel Peace Prize (NPP) and Controversy:
There are many controversial recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize (NPP).
Nobel Peace Prize (NPP) controversies often reach beyond the academic community around them. Nobel Peace Prize (NPP) awards have been given to politically motivated and or premature person or not guided by the definition of what constitutes work for peace and guideline set by Mr. Alfred Nobel - for selecting nominees for Nobel Peace Prize.
Like notorious, Mr. Henry Kissinger, Mr. Yitzhak Rabin, Mr. Shimon Peres, Mr. Menachem Begin. All of them were both directly or indirectly involved in killing of many innocent Palestine people–children-women and other naive people in different part of the world. Their activity made unrest and conflict to that region and also in other part of the world too.
Mr. Menachem Begin was also previously been head of the militant Zionist group "Irgun", which is often regarded as a terrorist organization and had been responsible for the King David Hotel bombing in 1946.
Nobel Peace Prize was not awarded on 19 occasions: in 1914-1918, 1923, 1924, 1928, 1932, 1939, 1943, 1948, 1955-1956, 1966-1967 and 1972.
While very controversial people mentioned above have (or enjoyed) their Nobel Peace prizes, but one of the strongest symbols of non-violence peace movement in the 20th century, Mahatma K Gandhi was never awarded this NPP - though he was nominated for 5 times.
In addition, in the fields of science, great men such as Nicola Tesla and Thomas Edison were not awarded Nobel Prizes because of their hostility towards each other. If Tesla had won, the money would probably have prevented him from filing for bankruptcy in 1916, and the look of modern society may have been very dissimilar.
Recently also the Nobel Peace Prize (NPP) has caused controversy.
One reason is that many Nobel Peace (NP) laureates have been contemporary and heavily controversial political figure or actor.
Second cause is that - the Nobel Peace laureates - in some instances have directed public focus on special international or national political interest (like in Bangladesh in 2006-2007).
Many critics said that Dr. Mohammed Younus was awarded Nobel Peace Prize - by the influence of United States of America. Though he was an economist and his contribution was in economical field – but he was awarded for Nobel Peace Prize. But he (MY) had hardly any contribution to the basic 5 items for Nobel Peace Prize criteria - mentioned by Mr. Alfred Nobel in his excerpt.
The United States of America was among the first country to infuse the ideal of peace into practical politics. Peace and arbitration treaties have now been concluded between the United States of America and the governments of several countries.
USA always tries to make politically acceptable and possible and within the framework - a government administration favorable to USA government and administration.
On some occasions there has even been strong criticism against the Norwegian Nobel Committee itself and the way its members are selected. Many Nobel Peace Prizes raised questions (as mentioned above) which were subsequently criticized throughout the world!
One possible way to avert these controversies is to engage sincere international committee of scholars - rather than a committee of Norwegian political veterans by Nobel Committee and completely free from US interferences
