Two utterly miserable countries in Pakistan and India.
1/3rd of Pakistanis are poor.
800 million Indians live in abject poverty ,Yet they have the balls to talk about human rights violations.

What Good is maintaining such costly military spending when 1/3rd of your people are poor and uneducated.
I can confirm this from my own life experience and what my family experienced even after my father retiring as a grade 22 civil servant.

Why did i create this thread?
I did so to paint the bigger picture to all fellow PDF members as well whoever may read this thread in the hope for it to be the faintest remainder of our problems at home before ditching all our problems to the Taliban or India.
In the end I will conclude how I...
As Pakistanis we should feel ashamed that several countries much backwards than our own have steadied their ships towards becoming major leaders in economic growth.
Especially if you consider what Pakistan was achieving in the Past.
