Your last line leaves me wondering whether it is advisable to give a serious reply to you or just write troll lines which are sure to rile up your countrymen.
Here is my attempt - Suicide blasts are also a category of exemption where Pakistan needs to do a lot to improve.
On the more serious note - While economic indicators and social indicators have Pakistan close to India, that does not define policy. What does affect policy much more is public perception. Because it is a democracy.
The public of India has this image of Pakistan which is not much different of Afghanistan. In short, the
public opinion has only two dualities of Pakistan. When you mention the word only two things come to mind - the Qawali/adab culture (which many Pakistanis have pointed out is incorrect as its more Lucknow oriented) and the Jihad culture in which
we see every Pakistani as wearing a shalwar 1 feet short than required and a beard 1 feet longer than required wielding a Kalashnikov and trying to kill the nearest non-Muslim.
Whether or not this is accurate, this is the
perception. Our politicians come from the public.
Every single time.
Now there is a bureaucracy which is professional. And they do advise the Govt of the day. They can at best temper what the politicians want. But course of action or direction is decided 9 times out of 10 based on what the Public wants and consequently the Politicians want.
Many respected members of old have pointed this out before including one of India's accomplished former Foreign Secretary. The real reason that there is constantly deteriorating relations is now clear - nobody in India wants peace with Pakistan anymore (post Mumbai attacks, a psychological watershed). The public does not consider you as equal beings anymore. Any action of Govt which affords us taking a step back will be considered hostile action of GoI by the People of India. The Govt of India will always act accordingly.
I believe
@Oscar would have more to add on this topic.
