India is more developed than Pakistan and India’s economy is growing at a much faster rate. The same probably holds true for Indian Punjab as well. Punjab is still the most prosperous and the most developed province of Pak with a Human Development Index of 0.670, according to Wikipedia. India uses a consumption-based methodology to calculate HDI that differs from the conventional formula used by UNDP, and as such the figure for Indian Punjab is likely an understated estimate. But, interestingly, despite the different methodologies used, Wikipedia lists Tajikistan as a comparable country with similar HDI as both Indian Punjab and Pakistani Punjab. So perhaps both Punjabs have roughly similar levels of development.

We became rich in green revolution of 65. 1991 liberalization affected industries not agriculture. Second it is Punjabi nature to bounce back. It took us just a generation to acheive that, post independent desperate Punjabis due to over resourcefulness got too much support in India, I sometimes wonder what would have been our condition if we have stayed back

That’s one of the perks of living in a secular state: if you want, you can have beer with your meal when dining at a restaurant. Or water. Or a soft drink like Sprite. So long as you’re an adult, it’s up to you to make a choice for yourself.

Anyway, while the other Punjab may lack a little in the drinks department, it is just as renowned for its food as Indian Punjab. There are even fancy restaurants specializing in cuisines from around the world: Top 10 restaurants in Lahore: Where to eat in 2015 - Pakistan - DAWN.COM

Punjabi food belongs to both sides. Additional drink is Indian punjab thing as far as I know liquor is banned there
