How did Yunus join Time magazine's influential people?
Nobel Peace prize winner and interim prime minister of bangladesh Muhammad Yunus has been included in the list of 100 most influential people of 2025 by Time magazine. In an article published in Time magazine, former US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has praised him fiercely. He has written that Muhammad Yunus has taken the responsibility of taking over the leadership at a critical moment in Bangladesh's history, which is commendable.
In 2024, there was a student uprising in bangladesh, which removed the then Sheikh Hasina government from power in the country. After this, there was a need to bring the country on a stable and democratic path. At such a time, Dr. Yunus once again took over the leadership. On this, TIME magazine wrote about Muhammad Yunus that he is taking bangladesh out of the shadow of oppression. He is restoring human rights. Trying to lay the foundation of a just and free society. His efforts have become a symbol of new consciousness and hope not only on a political but also on a social level.
Grameen bank became a model of change around the world
Bangladesh's interim PM Mohammad Yunus got global recognition when he started the Gramin bank model. He started Grameen bank in the 1970s. Its purpose was to give loans without collateral to the poor, especially to empower women economically. Today, this model has changed the lives of millions of people around the world. The result is that today 97% of Grameen Bank's customers are women.
Why did relations with india deteriorate?
Ever since Sheikh Hasina's government has been removed from power in bangladesh, Mohammad Yunus has been handling the political reins of the country. However, for the last almost 1 year, Bangladesh's relations with india have deteriorated. The biggest reason behind this is the change in Bangladesh's foreign policy under the leadership of Mohammad Yunus. One reason behind this is that bangladesh has the best relations with Pakistan. Radicalism in bangladesh is at its peak under the rule of Mohammad Yunus. Minorities, especially Hindus, are being targeted there. Despite this, Mohammad Yunus is not taking any appropriate action.
