Lots of big words my friend but alas the reality seems to be obtuse. By supporting these groups you have made yourself synonymous with a terror supporting factory, you take a name of Pakistan and haqqani and Talis by default are associated, what have you got in return? Episodes like Peshawar massacre and mardan episode? How much have you lost in terms of destroyed infrastructure, radicalized society?
How big is the size of your economy with the that of India, just be objective, while India is fast becoming a regional and global power, you are being marginalized to the extent that I fail to recall in your history.
While you are busy taking pride in giving birth to groups like Talis and others, your rival and others in the neighbourhood including Afghanistan are busy investing in their societies. Be objective for a while my friend
I hope you that stop this madness of thinking of that you can force your will on countries like Afghanistan and others, because what you have in a decades to come will be a country more radicalized, awashed with nuclear weapons but one who is fate is unknown. Here is a quote from General Flynn.
“I’m more concerned about Pakistan collapsing, than I am abt Afghanistan” - Michael Flynn

In regards to comparisons with India I will give you facts and figures but like always you will ignore it . Lets start with what neutral people saw both in India and Pakistan and then we will go to facts and figures shall we ?

''And Pakistan has more advanced infrastructure than its neighbors, including India. Among the modern infrastructure pieces in place in Pakistan are its motorway system, extensive road network,mobile telecommunications systems, airports, high-speed Internet system, extensive railroad network, gas pipeline etc. A British writer William Dalrymple who visited and compared India and Pakistan on their 60th anniversary described Pakistan as follows:
"On the ground, of course, the reality is different and first-time visitors to Pakistan are almost always surprised by the country's visible prosperity. There is far less poverty on show in Pakistan than in India, fewer beggars, and much less desperation. In many ways the infrastructure of Pakistan is much more advanced: there are better roads and airports, and more reliable electricity. Middle-class Pakistani houses are often bigger and better appointed than their equivalents in India. Moreover, the Pakistani economy is undergoing a construction and consumer boom similar to India's, with growth rates of 7%, and what is currently the fastest-rising stock market in Asia. '' .

''A major conundrum to those who visit both India and Pakistan is why the roads are so much better in the latter.
For all its problems, Pakistan’s 367-kilometer-long M2 motorway between Lahore and Islamabad strikes a visitor as being streets ahead of India’s decrepit inter-state roads even if roads minister Kamal Nath is on a binge of fund-raising to try to improve India’s highways.
For one, there’s a disciplined motorway police that patrol Pakistan’s highways and don’t take bribes. If you go above 120 kilometers an hour, and are caught on camera, a fine awaits you at the toll gate. Nonpayment means you can’t get out. The M2 motorway passes through the densely populated Punjab countryside but there are no cows, rickshaws or motorbikes coming at traffic on the wrong side of the road which is a common experience in India.''
This is neutral visitors telling you the ground realities of how Pakistan has a much better road network , has much less poverty and normal folks in our country are much better off . Now lets look at facts and figures .
http://www.dawn.com/news/1246041
United nation 's Happiness index 2015 where Pakistan is 92 ranked way ahead of India . Indicators are poverty , GDP per capita , Freedom to make choices , sanitation and much more .
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...els-higher-than-Pakistans-says-UN-report.html
''In absolute terms, 41.6 per cent of India's 1.1 billion people earned less than 78 pence per day compared with 22.6 per cent of Pakistan's 173 million.
The report quotes its 'multi-dimensional poverty index' which includes measures of schooling, child mortality, nutrition, access to electricity, toilets, drinking water, and hygienic living conditions, and reveals India is poorer ''
Now lets look at economy .
India PPP = $ 8 Trillion ( 7 times bigger population )
Pakistan = $ 1 Trillion
India = $ 2.3 trillion ( 7 times bigger population )
Pakistan = $ 300 billion
Now do the average in terms of per capita and see there is minimal difference or maybe 19-20 difference .

1. Pakistani stocks offering better returns than India.
2. Currently the hottest stock exchange in Asia.
3. Bloomberg refers to Pakistan as the new asian tiger.
You are too concerned about our image rather than looking for facts and figures . .
As for our infrastructure getting a hit , we have the best network of highways and expressways in the region .
Lahore - Islamabad M-2 ( south asia's first expressway built in 1997)
Peshawer - Burhan M-1
Lahore Gulberg boulevard
India is ahead in things like literacy , HDI and years of schooling while we are ahead in things like Poverty , inequality and Happiness index. Its 50/50 or maybe 55/45 in terms of numerous indicators.
These are some of the very few examples . I can go on for long here . Always see for facts and figures in regards to Pakistan rather than what image the world like to give you vis- a -vis India .
