There Is The Ranking

http://indianexpress.com/article/education/iisc-iits-among-top-indian-institutes-in-times-world-university-rankings-2016/ : Ranks of educational institutions. The IIT's are along with the men's medals in Olympics - largely absent.

Pakistan is happy to have moved up from rank 126 to 122 out of 138 countries. https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/153314-Pakistans-ranking-in-GlobalCompetitiveness-Index-improves while India movies up 16 notches from 55 to 39 (did they miss a 1 before 39?).

Should we focus on having improved since last year as Pak seems to have done? Or should we talk like Baba Ranchhod Das: RRRanking isn't everything.. Marks should not be put up in the notice board for all to see etc.

I am confused.
