I know you said it in jest, but the average Indian knows next to nothing about Pakistan and Pakistanis.
We for the most part think of Pakistan as 5-6 half decent cities, with good roads connecting them, with the remaining slightly better off than Afghanistan.
We think of massive power cuts and a crows nest of tapped overhead wires blacking out thee sky in most cities and towns.
We think of bearded guys in 3/4 pyjamas and women in black burqas.
We think of small kids playing with AK47s.
We think of the very very rich with their fancy cars and bikes, and the rest in grinding poverty.
We think of floods with millions displaced.
We think of the army against those it trained and armed and funded.
We think of most of the region west of the Indus as Pakistan only on the map and in atlases.
We think of bomb blasts and ethnic targeted killings and skyrocketing food prices.
Then we come here and find sadly that the worst case scenario is what you guys actually call a day in the life of Pakistan.
