The latest rankings based on development indices put Sri Lanka at 91 while India languishes at 119.

Sri Lanka is also recorded to have a considerably high level of gender equality, especially maternal health standards and educational opportunities for women.

Sri Lanka quips India in HDR

Shouldn't it be "Sri Lanka pips India"???

Or did Sri Lanka make a joke about India?
I never knew our journalists were so bad in English !!!

Wonder why should there be comparisons ..

All nations have different systems, pressures etc.

The thing is when our immediate neighbour can do it we should have done equal to it if not better.....hence there is a lot of room of improvement.....

Well done Sri Lanka

Why should not it be compared when we distribute resources in proportionate manner in per capita terms......
