Simply can change poverty measurement norms and definitions for things like "malnutrition"....they vary from country to country, UN, GHI, UNESCO, UNICEF all acknowledge that.
So when you do broadband measurement of poverty:

For south asia the MPI scores (headcount * intensity) are (lower is better):
India = 0.121 (2015-2016)
Bangladesh = 0.194 (2014)
Pakistan = 0.228 (2012-2013)
By pure headcount only (during the respective survey years):
India = 27.5% = 364 million people
Bangladesh = 41.07% = 66 million people
Pakistan = 43.9% = 80 million people
Seems "twice more poverty" is flipped around when you actually measure it properly with enough scope.
Or when you do concise measurement of it (there is no disputing a dead child, unless you become a totalitarian state and can hide even that too):

Can one really credibly attack India on these things,
while being 15 years behind it on infant mortality? What would the infant mortality being this behind suggest about the actual malnutrition (when compared on hypothetical equivalent basis) of the countries too?
They just hate this reality surfacing more and more each year, and what it means to the precious hollow ego they built up and nurtured this long.
