Sri Lanka ranks 25th among Failed States Index-2010. Somalia tops the index and our neighbours India, Pakistan and Bungladesh rank 79, 10 and 24. It is good to see that SL has moved 3 positions down from last year (22).
This index is calculated based on several social, economic, and political indicators. Anyway people have lot of criticism on this index. Most of the western countries which back terrorism should be in 'top failed countries'.
