@Kambojaric @Talwar e Pakistan Honestly I have concluded Indians are the mostly slimiest, fraudiest, toads on earth. I have read this thread in aghast. One of the clear successes in Pakistan has been the near universal electric connectivity. Indeed that has been curse as well as people have tripped the system for electric theft causing massive losses and loadshedding as we all know leading to the crisis we have seen in Pakistan in last 5 years where industrial units had had to shut down.
I majored in geography and have keen interest in that subject in conjunction with history as a hobby. Few years ago I read reports where they researchers were developing advanced solutions to predict real GDP where there were concerns that documentation or enumeration of the real economy was weak. That caught my attention because I have been firm believer that Pakistan's real state of economic health is far better than the figures you see in Western publications. Further that the economic conditions in Pakistan are far better on the ground for average citizen then in India. This is based on anecdotal evidence and reports by visitors to both countries. I also know Indian ability at brag and bluster.
So I followed on this cutting edge satellite image light pollution modeland guess what? They showed Pakistan lit like a Christmas tree and the economic models predicted GDP at least 30% higher than figures quoted. I will find those reports when I have spare time.
Surprise. Surprise. Now we have these satellite images appearing showing Pakistan in pitch dark. I suspect some either these images are "crude". If remember the research paper mentioned that they had to take hundreds of images over six months and then create a composite. One image will have distortions. For example on there might be loadshedding that day or some celebration that distorts the general trend.
Here for instance is a image I just googled. Have a look at it. And do your own google search and you will notice mostly Pakistan is lit like a Christmas tree as is Indian Punjab. The only parts of Pakistan that are dark is down to very l;ow density of population whereas the eastern parts of Ganga in India despite having huge population are producing low level of light.
