The bottom segment of Pakistani society is far more mobile. The vast majority of that 9 million Pakistani's come from the very lowest tier of society, In India your equivalent shudra, dalits etc are so crushed by social discrimination that there is zero chance of any of them ending up in London, Los Angeles or New York.
Do they matter in influencing policies of likes of Twitter/Google/Amazon/Microsoft/US? I doubt.
I do not deny social mobility and I appreciate the fact that its these folks who have actually kept Pakistani Rupee above water with their outsized contribution in terms of remittances to the point that this remittance is bigger than Pakistan's exports at times (2020, exports : 25 billion, remittance : 29.4 billion) . Thats all good and fine, but none of them could entice Google to open a massive development centre in Pakistan or influence pro-Pakistan policies on twitter for instance. Thats what Indian diaspora does.
A good % of Indians in west come from upper classes or educated middle class segment of society. If India itself was representative of the Indian diaspora you guys would be ahead of Israel or Sweden.
Agreed!
Instead for all your bragging India is in the same league as Pakistan. Counting few hairs extra does not make much differance.
Except its not just few more hair, its a whole headful of hair. It does not matter to the point relevant to this thread that if every single person in India is skeleton and skin poor, it will still apply that diaspora of India has more favourable influence. I grant you that in India every Indian is so poor that they eat once in 3 months and most die of hunger. I grant you that unlike Pakistan 98% of children who are born in India die before 1st week. It will NOT still change the fact relevant to this thread : Contribution of Indian diaspora to influence of western new-age media.
India has only 25-30% larger economy by population compared to Pakistan. This is nothing. Which is why when you cross from Pakistan into India it's not case of Delhi to Shanghai but more or less the same.
More like 36-38% ahead of Pakistan on a nominal per-capita scale.
Remember, Pakistan was the next Asian Tiger and India had Hindu Rate of Growth. By that measure it should have been where Korea and Taiwan are today. Or atleast where Vietnam is. With its size, geography, demographics and foreign relations in 60s or 70s. India was always a MASSIVE cesspool which could only have few islands of properity due to its sheer size. It was never supposed to defeat Pakistan on a per-capita basis in this timeframe because of its sheer size. Look at China and Taiwan. On a per-capita Taiwan has always been ahead and achieved it in much smaller time. Simply put, its easy to steer smaller countries in right direction.
A more telling differance is China versus India. The former has 400% larger economy then India. This figure really transaltes into tangible differance.
India can NEVER compete with Chinese economy. Period. India will always be one fourth of Chinese economy AT BEST and more like one tenth of Chinese economy. It has nothing to do with ANY thing like IQ or race or genetics or education or anything like that.
Why? NO ONE can make Indians do what Chinese government made Chinese do to achieve this economy and how it manages Chinese society. Simple case, look at farm laws. If Chinese had introduced farm laws, it would have never attracted the attention it got, it would have never been reported anywhere and protesters would have been dealt swiftly. Democracy comes at a price, often too high. A Pakistani by now should know it, right?
The way Indians brag is it would have us believe instead of that poxy 25% differance your 4,000% ahead.
What an Indian brags is that a fast race car of small size (Pakistan economy of 60s and 70s) is getting beaten by a slow moving poorly maintained dump truck (India economy of past present and future) is something to brag about.
This was simply not possible. This should never have been possible. This was worse than impossible.
Oh, btw, difference is more like 36-38%. India China ratio in GDP per capita is more like 684% (13000 / 1900).
