i do feel like even if india is named the largest democracy and fair to all religion laws might exist in its constitution, if you look at the way minorities have been treated in pakistan by the majority, never any bloody riots or state sponsored killings, pakistan ends up being the more fair, tolerant country

Please, don't make things up to argue. Do you know what the minority share was in 1950 and what it is now in Pakistan?
