Pakistan and Afghanistan are among the world’s top 10 most vulnerable states. Any surprise there ?
Shouldnt Pak stop interfering in India’s affairs (read Kashmir) and concentrate on fixing its own house first ? Might be good for everyone in the long run.
Also, the authors cite India as an example of a state which has pulled back from the brink, saying that in the 1970s analysts predicted dire consequences as a result of population growth, economic mismanagement, poverty and corruption. Now, they say, India today has turned itself around and might have the edge over China (ranked 57) in the long run.
Babuji it is time to change your dhoti. It has started to stink now. No matter what you write and what your sources are there is one thing which is as certain as death IF YOU MESS WITH US NOW YOU ARE TOTALLY FD.**
Btw, how does it work - its fine as long as you post articles about India & we respond, but when something comes up about Pak you get a verbal diarrhoea ?
Seems like you post for the sake of posting, go right back at the top and click on the BBC link then do a search on earth quake… Wonderful criteria I’d say… LOL…
Thats explaining the the sharp decline in Pak's ranking -
Pakistan moved from 34th last year to ninth in the new report - one of the sharpest changes in the overall score of any country on the list. **The contributing factors were Pakistan's inability to police the tribal areas near the Afghan border, **the devastating earthquake last October in Kashmir* and rising ethnic tensions, the report said. *
The earthquake probably contributed to Pak scoring low on -
progressive deterioration of public services
I simply cant accept any report that line up Afghanistan near to Pakistan. both countries cant even be compared. Pakistan has a proper working state operations from defence to economy it is a strong country. How could one rate Afghanistan with no army, no law, no fucntioning govt department, no single rail track. countries in upto 40 rank cant be compared to Pakistan, cause Pakistan simply out perform every single of them.
so this list is just simply a prapoganda against Pakistan by few people who cant digest Pakistan doing well.
yeah I am sure who ever picked the criteria must be a genius, a nation where there is mass starvation deaths should not be a criteria but a natural disaster is..LOL…
Another lame thread started by an Indian with all his brothers saying Amen.
What is really surprising is that this failed state is making 1 billion people talking about it day and ngiht out of jealousy. Dont believe it, look who started this thread. Jealousy knows no bound. One spends its days and nights trawling thorugh internet sites to cut and paste such articles. Two a penny they are on internet. Do a google on India and see what you find. Look at the BBC site and the poverty articles on India and how many farmers commit suicide because of the mounting debts in this paradise. Get a life and post something sensible for a change.
Plus we love you guys & the GS forum 
enough to give a kick to Indians…
