This will not do. We cannot continue like this. Sooner or later we will have to wake up and face the arduous task of economy-building that lies ahead of us...... SOURCE: World Economic Outlook Database April 2012 LINK for Pakistan 1980-Present Report: Report for Pakistan-Key Parameters

Good points. (A) Even though I am not personally convinced of its complete truth, there seems to be some evidence that the East Asian countries you mention have higher intelligence (statistically) then the South Asian countries we are discussing in this thread. Could this be an explanation...

Brain drain has always been a problem for all South Asian countries. Here is the latest World Bank Data for the percentage of all college-educated (tertiary-educated) people of South-Asian countries who are leaving their country of origin.

I stand by my statement about the Punjabis (on both sides of the border) & their dairy-centric food culture. "The fact is that milk consumption is at least twice India's in all four provinces of Pakistan....and growing faster ": Where is the data to support this claim? The link you have...
