Understandable.. from a person who loses every arguement due to posting a poorly research post.
Factually incorrect assumption
Under Muharraf the economy was much better managed. Seriously do you not do even a basic research before posting?..
oh wait you are from India. You are excused.
Reasons for Pakistans better economic condition in Mushy time:
i) US support
ii) US aid for development
iii) US military hardware at discounted prices
iv) Less intense power disparity in the region
v) Inherently better Macro economic indicators than present time
vi) Global economy was strong with no pandemic etc
vii) Militiary Dictatorship allows for more efficient and less beurocratic decision making than a true democracy.
I dont know what kind of research you have learned to do when you make claims such as PAF can shoot down half of IAF when IAF has 3x the assets and did not even retaliate. If you try to be more realistic and less emotional I might get banned less often.
Reasons for todays bad economy:
i) No foreign investment other than China
ii) Raging arms race in S.E Asia puts straining pressure on Pak economy to provide for Pak military upgrades
iii) Disproportionate spending towards pet projects of military elite generals who have the real power.
iv) Papa general joe
v) Almost all retired generals have house in europe, big land in Pakistan, and children living in europe or usa
vi) massive corruption, land mafia, wheat mafia, sugar mafia
vii) PIA complete failure
viii) No faith in democratic process with PDM protesting in massive ways, hidden cameras in electrol booths
ix) Pakistan does not export any value added products other than footballs. Almost everything that Pakistan consumes is made in China except for agriculture products and textiles.
x) Due to the lack of opportunities inside Pakistan and constantly screwing it up even more to make problems with India, almost all capable Pakistanis either move to middle east for work or better countries acccording to their stature. The smart ones who stay back find opportunities to make money through military or corrupt practices because its the only way you can live a good life and this is what everyone does.
