So SL will decide Miss India?

No, SL just hosts the competition. I personally support hosting it in SL. Apart from obvious benefits I think our side should learn a thing or two from Indians on this subject otherwise we just send a bag of garbage each year to be one of the last competitors in Miss World. Miss Sri Lanka has lost its quality in big time! There are much better beauties in Sri Lanka who consider participating in these contests as a humiliation. We just have to get rid of this attitude and make them have a go at it.

I don't think so. India is just trying to increase its influence.

Its just because of the elections.

All major events would be held outside first half of the year. There is central election.
