There are good parts and bad parts in every country. Personally I feel there isn't a major difference in the middle class areas of India and Pakistan. You guys got those ugly hanging electricity wires we got them too. You guys have electricity problems and we do too, although ours is far worse.
Thing is the average Pakistani house probably looks better then their Indian counterpart. But Indian apartments particularly those in Mumbai are pretty amazing. Those highrise apartments in Powai looks pretty damn good (my cousins live there), I'm talking about the architecture itself. And some great apartments in South Mumbai as well especially in the Lokhanwala, Colaba/Cuffe Parade and Parel area.
I've been to India a lot of times especially Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi and Lucknow since a lot of my family still reside there.
