Your talking with your heart rather than head.
India is a very large and powerful nation and the entire world from uae to saudi to USA to Europe even China wants good strong relations . Why quite simply massive trade . Numbers that you Pakistanis can't even fathom
Pakistan could double the gdp in a decade if the Indians let' open the huge Indian market for Pakistanis businesses.
The language the food the culture is interlinked for centuries.
Pakistan military and isi I'd holding you back from doubling your gdp.
Cpec is a financial debt trap just listen to mushraff who had openly warned Pakistan they are losing sovereign ty and going into debt to China
Look at Vietnam and Lanka in debt to chins for billions
CPEC is not a big deal. The Pakistani will default on their loans and refuse to pay China. What are the Chinese going to do ?
You bharatis are uneducated with respect to CPEC, so I would suggest you don't talk about something you have no idea about. So now you guys are going to tell us what's good for our economy and what's not? Trade with Bharat is the way to go but CPEC is not? PLEASE.
As for Pakistan doubling it's GDP by trading with Bharat, yes that's within the realm of possibilities, but quite simply we don't need it. With CPEC we can have 7% growth in a few years and 8-9% percent by early to mid 2020s. Quite simply that will be enough to triple the GDP by about 2027.
Also keep in mind Pakistan's economy hasn't been rebased since 2004 or so. We are looking at adding 100-150 bn to the GDP once that happens.
