Can we move on now?

To be fair, this story is from Indian media too. And if you guys think you're portrayed badly, you should see Sri Lanka in Indian media.

The average Sri Lankan will generate ~$5000 per person in the country by 2019?

There is a large gap between potential and actuation.

Hey! It's not my dream, it's the govt's dream, it's going to be fun to see what they do. Probably this ^^

I think you've hit the nail on the head. What India needs is a strong leader and strong government with the political will to develop the nation.

Interesting though to consider: Empirically measured IQ of Italians shortly after a World War was approximately 10-15 points behind the average of Western Europe. Now they have the highest average in Western Europe. IQ is highly dependent on maternal nutrition and a stimulating environment...

Agree, no one said becoming developed would be easy or without sacrifice. We need leaders prepared to do what is necessary.

They're not perfect but they do get stuff done, nobody can deny that. That's what I mean. Obviously they're not saints or corruption free. But they're good at nation-building which is what we need.
