Re: If the situation was reversed!
It’s time we should talk.
I can write a thesis on this subject…but I will just put it crudely - I think both India and Pakistan are nothing but 3rd world cesspools. The Pakistani cesspool stinks a little more these days though.
India with its 1.5 billion people is a chaotic anarchy and it is a miracle that it functions somehow (cheer led by its media and a credulous middle class - the demographic that comments on Rediff).
That India is better off (or less worse-off) than Pakistan can be attributed to the Hindu majority’s less inclination towards violence as compared to Muslim Pakistan. I know this is not a popular statement to make but this is my personal opinion.
Will stop there.
