They have more women's teams for every type of sport. Many more than us.

They even have a women's kabaddi team...

Pakistan is not as conservative as I thought. Good to see their women empowerment.

They are not.

People (especially Indians) think that Bangladesh and of course, Pakistan are controlled by Islamic religious extremists, but nothing could be further from the truth. I have visited Pakistan myself and so have some of my friends from Bangladesh, these are misconceptions.

It is a very modern country - though going through some political issues at the moment.

Having respect toward the majority religion is one thing. and of course oppressing religions is another (like they do in Modi's India).

But we can discuss this somewhere else...
