This was a quote which is told by a consultant who gone back from Sri Lanka. This is a completely narrow minded saying about a country. I do not have words to explain my feeling about this quote. But I will write a similar situation which was happen in india.
In many decades ago a British expert had been criticised that "The sewer water of London is bacteriologically superior to the milk of Bombay" **. What was the reaction of them to this pig headed quote. Dr. Verghese Kurien took this as a challenge and drew the country to be one of front-ranker in milk production.
The above quote about our nation is must taken serious. We want to establish proper vision & mission on our nation. We must start our individual role in developing this country. Even a little man has a great responsibility. These statements must be taken as challenges.

You need to be more specific as to what the reference is, volume, year etc. Also what seems to be the problem with the comment?
It's an observation not a subjective judgement. Similarly regarding the British 'expert' if he had scientific evidence to back his claim then he has a right to that claim.
yep, I agree with n,,,,
Yeah there ought to be more evidence in terms of references and so on
I can see where you are coming from though...even though its an observation it's in a respected publication and tends to create a very negative perception of the country as a whole ..even if unintended in that broader sense..
