Shhot for the stars and you might land on the moon. Shoot to stand up you might end up sitting. As I said before rivalry per se against India has not hurt Pakistan one bit. As I explained competition is stuff of human nature. I have always been competitive in my life and found that placed in a demanding situation I pushed further and harder. It;s human nature and applies to nations. As I mentioned before I majored in European history being as I was brought up in UK. The history of Pakistan was something I read up as a hobby. But one thing that comes out of European history post 1500 which coincides with rise of Western Europe is the continous wars, conflicts, tensions, scheming, alliances all intended to do one over other countries - this consumed millions of European dead and wrought destruction on epic scale culminating in the two world wars. Germany, Britain, France, Spain, Dutch, Russia, Italy, Portugal fought each other silly. Indeed that is what made these countries. Interestingly this five humdred years of drama and wars was entirely missed by us or our ancestors. The only Muslim people to engage with and compete during this period were Turks who also fought to death in these rivalries and out of this fire came the Turkish republic. It is no coincidence today that the most advanced Muslim country is Turkey. Because they competed while we slept.I maintain that Pakistan, being a much smaller and weaker country in 1947, has been in an unwinnable competition against India.
Of course Zia, religious obscurantism, mullah politics is something I agree with you but that is more to do with the path Pakistan chose in it's domestic policy as opposed to India begining with the Objective Resolution of 1949 which effectively laid direction to where we are today.
Ohghh. That hurt. It was a ....India makes up about 20% of the world's population, so of course you will have a large GDP. The sad thing is; despite having 20% of the world's population, India only contributes about 2.83% to the global GDP.
The only place you can boast in is sub-saharan Africa, even then; there are many countries there that have better living conditions than India.
There are more Indians that shit on the streets than the entire population of Pakistan, so don't put "India" and "civilised" in the same sentence.
