Abstract
We first discuss how the flux transport dynamo with reasonably high diffusion can explain both the regular and the irregular features of the solar cycle quite well. Then we critically examine the inadequacies of the model and the challenge posed by some recent observational data about meridional circulation, arriving at the conclusion that this model can still work within the bounds of observational data
