Pew Survey: Pakistanis Strongly Believe in Working Hard to Succeed

Riaz is working real hard to paint a fake picture ;)

The picture I paint is as real as daylight. Extreme deprivation of Indian people, too, is as obvious as daylight for those who can see the widespread hunger, poverty, and lack of sanitation everywhere in India.

As if to reinforce it, the BBC had a story last year about little children in India eating mud to fight hunger.

"In Ganne, just off the main road about an hour south of the city of Allahabad, this is a simple fact of life.

It is home to members of a poor tribal community, who live in small huts clustered around a series of shallow quarries.

Inside one of the huts sits a little girl called Poonam. She is three years old, and in the early stages of kidney failure.

Like many children in Ganne she has become used to eating bits of dried mud and silica, which she finds in the quarry. Tiny children chew on the mud simply because they are hungry - but it is making them ill.

When reports first emerged of children eating mud here local officials delivered more food and warned the villagers not to speak to outsiders. But Poonam's father, Bhulli, is close to despair."


The only other country where I know children regularly eat "dirt cookies" is Haiti.

The reality of the failure of Indian state is as obvious as daylight. The Indian state's abject failures in delivering bare minimum services to its people, and its inability to solve India's basic problems are there for everyone to see.

Isnt the color of Pakistan a brighter red than That of India :D

If you really want to make a point, why don't you answer the data I threw at you a few pages back.. Else you really are coming across like an old bitter man whose only recourse of getting any jollies is by posting crap on the net and then giggle at his own attempts.. You really do injustice to the credentials you have posted for yourself on your blog...

Talking about violence, India is a far more violent place than Pakistan.

There were about 2800 people tragically killed in Pakistan in terror last year, according to SATP. India's hunger claims 7000 lives every day, according to Bhook.com

India has had major massacres of Muslims, Christians, Sikh and Dalits and it's highly institutionalized and state supported as describes by Prof Paul Brass in his books based on years of research.

Indira's Sikh assassins met swift justice, but the murderers of 3,870 innocent Sikhs still roam free a quarter of a century later. In addition to the Sikh pogrom, the year 1984 also saw a deadly gas leak in a factory owned by Union Carbide in Bhopal that killed over 2,000 people and left permanent injuries for many more for life.

In reaction to the Sikh killings in Delhi and other places, Indira's successor and son Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi declared at a massive rally in the capital that "once a mighty tree falls, it is only natural that the earth around it shakes".

One of the worst massacres took place in two narrow alleys in India's capital New Delhi's poor Trilokpuri colony where some 350 Sikhs, including women and children, were casually butchered over 72 hours, according to media reports.

The charred and hacked remains of the hundreds of dead in Trilokpuri's Block 32 on the smoky and dank evening of 2 November 1984 were stark testimony to the unimpeded and seemingly endless massacre, according to the BBC.

Soon after news of Mrs Gandhi's killing by her Sikh bodyguards spread, Hindu mobs swung into action - like they did elsewhere in the city armed with voters' lists - in Trilokpuri against the low caste Sikhs inhabiting one-roomed tenements on either side of two narrow alleyways barely 150 yards long.

With local police connivance they blocked entry to the neighborhood with massive concrete water pipes and stationed guards armed with sticks atop them.

For the next three days marauding groups armed with cleavers, scythes, kitchen knives and scissors took breaks to eat and regroup in between executing their bloodthirsty mission.

The history repeated itself in Guj arat in 2002, only the pretext and the victims were different this time.

India is also home to some of the world's fiercest insurgencies in large swaths of the country in North East, North West and Central India.

Pakistan's neighbor India has bigger issues of landless peasants, the caste-based Apartheid, and the problem of widespread hunger, poverty and desperation, which is worse than most of its neighbors. In addition, there is a known and growing nexus between the radical Hindus and some of the Indian intelligence and military officials, as recently detailed by former police chief of Maharashtra, Mr. S.M. Mushrif in his book titled "Who Killed Karare?".

Absolutely love it.
Riaz posts absolute numbers about India whenever per capita wise Pakistan is left behind.

In anycase Riaz, i agree, India is quite pathetic in most social indicators. And there is a LOT of work to to be done regardless of whether we are ahead of or behind Pakistan. The only good thing is that we have been improving in all indicators quite steadily, so another decade and we really will be able to make a sizeable dent.

I can give good news for example:
Last year, for the first time in India's history, the number of illiterates in absolute terms went down!
Usually, while as a percentage of population illiteracy was decreasing, but due to increase in population, absolute number of illiterates was increasing. Last year was a watershed in that sector atleast.

What a joke...and still India does not catch up with Pakistan until 2018 in spite all the highly optimistic assumptions for India.

Whoever put this graph together needs to understand that Pakistanis consume significantly higher amounts of meat, poultry and milk products than other South Asian nations, getting more protein and almost half their daily, per capita calorie intake from non-food-grain sources.

According to the FAO, the average dairy consumption of the developing countries is still very low (45 kg of all dairy products in liquid milk equivalent), compared with the average of 220 kg in the industrial countries. Few developing countries have per capita consumption exceeding 150 kg (Argentina, Uruguay and some pastoral countries in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of Africa). Among the most populous countries, only Pakistan, at 153 kg per capita, has such a level. In South Asia, where milk and dairy products are preferred foods, India has only 64 kg and Bangladesh 14 kg. East Asia has only 10 kg.

.... the average dairy consumption.....

This obsession with "dairy" is a Punjabi thing.

Punjabis are 60% of our population, whereas Punjabis are only 2% of India's population.

So it is not surprising that our National Average Dairy Consumption is much higher than India's.

The person can't stop becoming "too clever by half", even when he has been shown up completely.

Scavenging pathetically from one topic to the other, posting the same stock 7-8 posts again and again, mostly with outdated data, on issues where Pakistan itself is in no distinguished position!

Hate so dominates such people, even in their ripe old age when the time is for them to focus on doing good and contribute back to the world?

This person and his ilk are the reason for the sectarian murders and terrorism in Pakistan. They prevent what needs to be done to clean up the society.

They should be punished wherever they are, as enemies of humanity.

Absolutely love it.

See that is the point. We have a long way to go and our competition is with ourselves, to be what we can be.

Pakistan is no standard, no benchmark for us. We need to ensure every Indian has a fair chance to be what he or she can be.

Pathetic hatemongers like the OP on the other hand want to convince Pakistanis that things are hunky dory because India is so bad. Even when we have absolutely nothing to do with their Islamic country.

They prevent Pakistan from doing the right thing and worse, even focusing on the right thing, all for their person hatred and inadequacies and failures and impotence...

They are the real enemies of Pakistan and even humanity, more than the bearded ones blowing themselves up in the marketplaces and killing Shias, Ahmedis, Barelvis, tribals...
