Re: 30 year old Pakistani women
Um…more like the failure to industrialize, lacking coherent national identities, and failing to change with the times. The US wasn’t exactly a research power house in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s (scratch that, it definitely wasn’t) but it was still incredibly wealthy. Most of the research was in England and Germany. Many original quantum physics papers are in German.
What does India’s success have to do with Indians in the West? Could it be because India isn’t plagued by political turmoil that it progressed economically? Nah, it must be the educated Indian women in the US who helped turn India around.
Education is important, but your assertion that education for women is the cause of Pakistan’s economic troubles is comical. Equal educational opportunities for women is morally and socially just, and of immense benefit to an industrialized country, but there are a slew of other issues that need fixing first.
