India's neighbours

India’s neighbours — Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka — are featured in the list of the “most failed states”, according to the annual ranking prepared by the Foreign Policy magazine. While Pakistan is at number 12, Myanmar is at 18, Bangladesh at 25, Nepal at 27, Sri Lanka at 29 and Bhutan at 50 in a list of 60 countries. The top 10 feature Chad, Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan, Central African Republic and Iraq. On Pakistan, the report said, “Pakistan has long been dubbed the world’s most dangerous country in Washington policy circles” and “yet it isn’t just dangerous for the West — it’s often a danger to its own people.”
