lol Chennai is expensive than COlombo ? I doubt u ever been to Sri Lanka..I am new so i can`t post any links here yet but anyone who has been to both India and Sri Lanka know what i m talking about..Colombo is more expenisve than ANY indian city including MUMBAI..And 100 times cleaner , have better roads , Have 10 times better living conditions (Colombo has the highest gdp per capita($6800 - 2011) for a South Asian city and 4 times that of mumbai,lol)..Sri Lanka is miles ahead of India in education system (98% literacy rate-those who go to india to do med only go there bcz SL pvrt med schools are more expensive and Eurpe is obviously too expensie for an average SLn..same with medical - tourists if any goes there !! ) , have far better Human development compared to whole of South Asia(0.751) , have far better health care system (lot higher life expectancy - 77yrs, under 5 infant mortality rate) , and an average Lankan earn 2.5 times more money than an Indian (GDP per capita 2012 - $3300 , purchasing power - $7000 compared to 1400 odd in India).I ve been to india and i felt colombo is Sweden compared to Delhi !..Nothing suprising as 38% of Indians live under $1 per day compared to 6% under $1.2 poverty line in Sri Lanka !! India is all about quantity..No quality !!
Yeah yeah..tell that to the Sinhalese who come to Apollo for medical treatment.
And only a uninformed would try to equate better literacy rate with quality of education. Literate means a person is able to read and write in some language. Period.It is nothing about the quality of the educational system or the quality of the institutes.
