1) What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your expectations?
The biggest surprise is that the type of corruption that SKS experienced in Nizamabad, India still exist in today’s world. Hard to believe that a local gang of thugs wields that much power and influence over people in a society.
2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
The whole concept of microfinance was a little confusing. A little background into what this concept entails would have been helpful at the beginning instead of farther through the story.
3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
Question #1- How does your business go about properly identifying and tracking these individuals? I would imagine that they don’t all have government backed identifications that makes is easy to identify.
Question #2- What is an NGO? You reference it a few time without an explanation of what it is.
4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?
There was not a particular point that I disagreed with the author over. I felt that there was a base level of knowledge that was needed in order to fully comprehend the microfinance process. For those of us that may have been missing a few of the pieces, it would have been nice for a little explanation.
