So people who have relatives in both places, who do you think is doing better? In terms of money, jobs, opportunities, etc.

I dont really know any of the newer generation, but seems comparing my parents generation, i would say relatives in Pakistan. The ones in India seem to have not changed much.

I guess this is not any different from how people move to the US or UK and find success. New place, new opprtunities, and the drive to move forward.

as i said in my earlier posts that none of my immediate family members moved to Pakistan at the time of partition or anytime after that. those of my extended family members who moved to Pakistan in 60’s and 70’s had high education…most of them had Master’s degree or better. and they did well but sad story is the the subsequent generation got lost in luxury and didn’t do as well as their parents’ generation did.

In India, the competition is fierce and those relatives who migrated to Pakistan had no choice because they did NOT get a good job at par with their education. they crossed migrated to the other side of the border because of economic reasons rather than the political one.

all migrations to Pakistan from at least my areas stopped completely in early 80’s. i haven’t seen anyone going now because of less opportunities their.
