This article discussed the idea of micro-finance, specifically micro-finance in relation to women in India. The biggest surprise to me while reading this article was the concept of micro-finance as a whole. I was not aware that this was a thing, and hearing of this one businesses experiences when trying to supply loans to the impoverished in Nizamabad. If I could ask the author two questions they would be:
- How did you get into the business of micro-finance?
- Did the issues in Nizamabad, specifically the fatwa, deter you from this business in anyway, or did it further support your reason to be in the business?
I would ask these two questions because I am unfamiliar with the field and these were the first questions I had when reading this article. This article did not leave much to disagree with and I am not well read on the concept, so I did not see anything that I thought the author was wrong about.
