Indian’s & Pakistanl’s have it’s citizens commiting suicide due to poverty, and yet we talk about high growth rates, billions spent on arms & planes and ships.
I think we need to be ashamed of ourselves and STOP fighting each other NOW.
^ that is what I agree with whole-heartedly, I am against spending billions on fighter jets, un-necessary space programs when our own planet-dwellers are starving.
Poverty certainly seems more of an Indian problem, in relative terms only a fraction of the people [17% acc to the world bank report] are poor in Pakistan compared to 35% of the 1 billion or so in India.
We should think wot we can do with 3 crore everyday for people of our country who spend their whole life doing hardwork for better life but atlast they get only one thing DEATH… , they dont even get 20-25 lakhs in leu of their life, their dreams never come true…
Indians are very quick to deny anything that is negative and factual about India… . Here is the tip of the iceberg, this is one of your rich states I won’t even talk about poor… Recently in one of the richest state of India 9000 children starved to death… last year god knows how many farmers escaped to Africa for the same reason…
Not a pretty picture by any stretch of immagination… Recently UN lumped India with Ethopia, do you know why?
So please when it comes to starvations and suicides keep your discussion to India and don’t drag Pak in for no reason…
