AHC: Sri Lanka with very high HDI level.

Your challenge is, with a post-1900 POD, to find a way for Sri Lanka, the most developed South Asian country, to have a very high HDI level instead of just a high one.
 
No Sri Lankan Civil War and at least it is economically in better condition. But not sure would it be very high anyway.

I've seen claims, that, Sri Lanka could have become as developed as Singapore, if its leaders managed to create ethnic and religious harmony, like Singapore's leaders did.

A couple of Sri Lankan companies guess right, say computer disc drives in the early 1980s.

And the fact that there are two companies competing increase the chances that the government will generally steer a middle course and engage in good governance, with relatively small deviations.
