Re: pakistanis abroad dont do well abroad because..
Eventhough the purpose of yur topic is different, but this is what i think. First of all most of the Indians that come to US come on work visa (whether be computers or any other positions). On the other hand most of Pakistanis in US came here either illegal and later became legal, lottery visa or sponsorship.
As far as being poor is concerned, unlike hindus, muslims really dont worship money. I work with filthy rich Indian doctors and trust me, most of them are very very cheap. I know these two brothers who are Gastroenterologists and their whole family is full of doctors. They are both in their 60's, but still work 9-10 hours in the hospital and then go to clinic every day for 5-6 hours. How much money do they want? God knows.
In UK most of the Pakistanis went there during the british times when they were given british citizenship in exchange of land for the dam. They were all illetrate villagers.
As far as medicine is concerned, from what i learned just last year there were about 2200 doctors that came from India and about 800 doctors that came from Pakistan. So the ratio is about 3:1 which considering that Indian population is about 8 times more than Pakistan is not bad at all.
Alot also depends on the area you are in also. In NY and Chicago you will find mostly uneducated Pakistanis. Same is for Bengalis who are mostly uneducated that live in NY. Things are different in other areas.
