All big talk and no action

This is in reference to your business report of October 30 by Zahid Hussain and Johannes Zutt. The table which shows the comparison of infrastructure quality of the financial year 2014-2015 is very disappointing. Our overall ranking is 109 among 144 countries that have been ranked! Only Pakistan and Myanmar are ranked below us among the sub-continental countries. This is the net result of our 'all big talk and no action' that defines our overall progress. Luckily for us, there was no subject-wise ranking on bribery and corruption, an item in which for a score between one and ten, we would easily have crossed eight!
