Not a big achievement keeping in view the resourced India got at the time of partition and what we had got.
Besides keeping in view the situation in bothe country where Pakistan had been constantly in the storm of international geo-political game faced with active wars uptill now and India having peace all these decades so what India is today is NOT a big deal.
The amusing thing is the condition of common man in India is still worst than Pakistan.
The answer to your question about safety of minorities from Pakistan, in India well i say NO a big NO . A country like India where your minority is not safe how can you provide safety to ours.
The Hindus whom India is giving citizenship are those who are victims of Feudalism in Pakistan
Yes Pakistan was been & still is been used by west for geopolitical aims. But thats not fault of any other nation, Pakistan has kissed devil's feet itself.
Madam, do you know how properous sindh & punjab province was, do you have idea of potential resources that balochistan treasures ??? Can you name any more fertile & prosperous region than Sindh & Punjab in british india??
you got more than two-third (2/3rd) of punjab & almost 90% of sindh which were most fertile region of continent ( thanks to Jinnah's diplomacy skills & his loyality for Angrez & his influence on british) but still you whin about resources during partition??
We when we were concentrating on building IIMs ,IITs, failing but attempting to build industrial sectors you were much more properous than India was infact Pakistan was fastest growing economy. But you failed to imvesting in right feilds funding anti-hindu school of thoughts & extremist-islamic-elements is paying you what you are going through now.
So correct your reply and say Pakistan had resources but they invested them on wrong places you still have resources hope your leaders n policy makers use it effectively in future.
About common man, you are totally wrong.what you said was true 2 decades before but now welcome to 2012 & update yourself with realities.
Your economy is less than economy of a single indian state like maharashtra forget about india as whole. India being a trillion economy can be NO BIG DEAL for Pakistanis only but world is taking our economy seriously.
About minorities in India they have problem but their families are much more safer than hindus in Pakistan. 900 pakistani hindus who embraced indian citizenship are testinomial of same. Near about 1400 pakistani hindus waiting for indian citizenship after visa expiry also suggest same.
