Nah lets face it, Goras have always been fascinated by India. What helps India's case is:
Hinduism: Both in terms of culture and religion, it is damn 'flexible' from worshiping Muslim pirs to proclaiming Jesus as an avatar, the fluidity is remarkable. I don't mean this as an insult to hindu readers, since I am simply repeating Nehru's views on Hinduism.
Looking up to the Goras as saviors. When I was in Bangalore on business, I had the chance to see this in action. Some of the new 'emerging' IT middle class tried to replicate the gora lifestyle despite looking completely ridiculous. When I was in Delhi, things were a lot better with older money and true Indian class.
Commercially minded and education oriented: Indians tend to be focused on both matters which allows them to be fully integrated into the global econo my. While Pakis are still trying to grapple with the retarded 'War on Terror.'
These are some of the factors I see in India's rise. I don't fault them for it, my regret is that we're not doing too well in the international stage.

For its size and scale Pakistan is quite alright in terms of 'educated wise heads' locally or on the international forums.
Its just that India is so 'big' that their natives can't see things beyond their visors.
It seems only just-the-other-day when Indira Ghandi was the state head and Indians were deprived of the true outside world and never dreamed about "Imported" stuff in their wildest dream.
Rajiv Ghandi was the shackle breaker of indian econmy and it doesn't seems very long a ago.
Whats makes you think that Pakistan with its ever so presnt and past acquiantances with the International think tanks need to learn any thing from India.? Or match-frenzy its progress ?
It will happen for Pakistan and inshallah it will be sustainable.
