and even with an almost 2.5 trillion economy they r still giving excuses even in 2018 thats 70 years after their inception, while Pakistan also fought extreme poverty where the int. standard is of 1.90 Dollar per day and a record migration of almost 2 cror people from india to Pakistan, and still after 70 years it turns out our extreme poverty is only 7.9% of our population as of 2011 while their's is 21.2%Social scientist Devender Kumar said, “India is densely populated than its South Asian neighbouring countries like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Maldives, Bhutan, Pakistan and more. Bangladesh and Pakistan came into existence only after the partition, while others already existed.” Subsequently, the poverty calculation methodology indices will be based on the population of the country and naturally less for those that are low on population.”
Whole bloody nation believe as if they were the rulers of the lands called India before 15th August 1947. These peasants have not been taught that they were the subjects of British raj of India, a colonial entity.
All this while Pakistan's currency is even lower then Indian.

Zindabad Babao!!!!From my reading on this subject I was surprised with two facts. On the objective international standard of $1.90 Pakistan had far lower % in extreme poverty - you know the ribcage sticking out poverty where poverty means you see a breathing skeleton.
But each country also has their own poverty rates. In UK for instance if you don't make $78 a day your are in poverty. In India the government deliberately chose a ridicalously low figure [lower then international standard] to produce false figures making it look like it has less poverty. In Pakistan on the contrary the domestic poverty line has been set higher then international dollar standard giving us higher poverty figure.
Having a artificially low figure might hide the poverty from the outside world - the poor by definition have no voice but it does not help to resolve the issue. On the contrary having the poverty line set higher like in Pakistan causes policymakers to address the problem as opposed to pushing it under the carpet. Examples of this are the $1 billion BISP programme that hands direct cash to the poorest in the country helping the ribcage poor with basics like food etc. This is in fact the first example of the foundations of a welfare state in South Asia.

Agreed. Since then you will have reached all the way to Pluto and we will have been buried in Dead Sea. 7 years ago was not 7000 years ago. It was the same India and Pakistan. Unless Modejee waved a abracadra and your now kissing Norway.
yr not as big of a fool as i thought u were.
