Why Are Poverty Rates in Pakistan Lower Than India, Bangladesh?

[M. Sarmad]

you are now playing classic bait and switch.
As you could not prove and support Hazrat Umer's supposed welfare state
you throw in another false hood regarding Alexander's blood group.
then claim that Hazrat Umer's related lies, and Alexander's blood group related lies will make your argument as true.
hahahah

Meray bhai you talked about welfare state of umer and compared it to Marxism, not me..
I only proved you wrong ... This was never about "welfare state of umer" was real or not .. It was a comparison of the Islamic socialism and Marxism , which u always talk about without even knowing the basics ...Be honest enough to admit the truth bro ..

Noops.

My assertion is that Pakistanis want to implement mraxism in the garb of Hazrat Umer's welfare state.

Please check my posts.

It is you my dear who are trying your level best to use bait and switch.


you do realize that I greatly respect you. So please do not drag this discussion into something it was never intended to be.

HUMANDEVELOPMENTINDEX. Pak better than India on poverty. WORRISOME India ranks lower than Pak on gender equality too. Chetan Chauhan.

I call Bullshit. even with the recent rape cases, India is definitely doing well in terms of gender equality. In fact there many Indias within India. For middle-Upper middle class women, India is practically like any other advanced country (check the employment, education, income and even the divorce rates). It's not so well to do parts of the country that have this problem of gender inequality.

Seethru yaar.

no need to get the panties in a bunch.

Many of the human development factors are dependent on policy from decades ago.

Thus the current data is in many cases already obsolete.

Just look at these as numbers.

And keep working hard for your country.

British did it through canal colonies boom when British built one of the best canal system bringing agricultural boom in entire Punjab region. Except for Punjab other regions of Pakistan are still extremely backward.

That canal system yr referencing to was build in order to maintain the water Channels that were blocked by india in indus water treaty so they wont effect irrigation. That was done in through out 60s. British didnt made them and today we have the best canal system in the world.

Also Punjab is the most fertile and most populated province in pak. as u know its called land of five rivers. in the other provinces there is no real vegetation/oasis/fertility in land as its in punjab. So thats why most irrigation is done here. NWFP is mostly rocky terrain/mountainous area and so Azad Kashmir/G-B, Baluchistan is Desert and so is mostly sindh with few marshy places.

I believe thats the same in yr country as well as in yr country punjab is the place where most of agricultural activities take place then any other area.

so yr judgment is stupid.

It is just not possible for India to rank lower than Pakistan on gender equality. I call BS

u will be surprised if u visit our country. Even we have Airforce female combat pilots. and just today i saw a thread in this site where we have SF of women in Police to take out terrorists.

Most recent poverty estimates by World bank put Pakistan at 35% much higher than India's 23%.

UN data is considerated more credible and accurate......

Indian poverty levels higher than Pakistan's, says UN report

Understood!

While I may have my weaknesses. God knows how imperfect I could be.

But

I don't have one particular weakness that is so common among educated Pakistanis.

The weakness of treating our historical figures as idols, the way pagans treat their gods.


For me Hazrat Umar's rule is as open to introspection as BB's.

And if I see someone attributing false notion of "goodness" and sacredness with Umer or BB,. I'll point that out.


But I am sad to see how my words about marxism were misconstrued in your posts.

Peace

I suppose it is because of how our society is structured. People live in rural areas, grow their own food and eat their own food. People in rural areas are self reliant because of their life style.

I hope, we can develop our society by introducing new technology and knowledge to our rural population. e.g. Teach them how to produce their own electricity.

While this is true that Pakistan built link canals coming out of Tarbela and Mangla.

British did a HUGE service to Punjab by developing "locks and dams" on most of the rivers.

These locks and dams is a European technique to control large rivers.

And it didn't exist in Punjab until british developed it.

both Punjab and Sindh and to some degree KP and all benefited from this construction.

Please read up a bit.

Thank you

Thats because British had this divide and rule theory in mind!!!! Thats the only way they could govern. The concept of Pak was presented as back as 1921 and was reported by NY Times i think that in future we will have some sort of artificial states in Asia/Europe/Africa.

The Brits knew what they were doing here and had build them in a long term planning.......Anyways But the Canal System that we have now is largely build after IWT.

Agreed ... About BB.s , they are mentioned in Quran and we have to respect all of them.... I personally believe that quran is the only text that is religiously binding ... everything else is debatable .. And a little studyof history reveals that all we follow in the name of Islamic history is no more than "idealistic folktales"

Aray Nawaz bhai

It is OK to stick to your point, but it is not good to spread ignorance and conspiracy theories.

Just the two brothers John and Henry Lawrence did more work to carefully document the history and geography of Punjab than any other Punjabi could ever claim.

This was the labor of love for engineering that Brits had, Doing survey was their passion, documenting people and places was something they did.

Combining all that as "conspiracy" is really pathetic.

really really pathetic.


Sorry to see.
