pigeon said:india is way bigger country and have very complex problem.chances of succeeding
of pakistan was more compare to india because it had lot of things in their favour like
fertile land,natural resources,less population and so on.lack of visionary leadership
brings the country where it is today.
india is inheriting 5000 old culture and tradition and still moving fast forward carrying
old problems also.
reason that in early independence days india invested into human resouces,education
and democratic institutions.you need leaders at every level(political,enterprenuers,managers)that takes forward to the country.thats why indian
are succeeding everywhere where they go and country is benefited.
it is beauty of indian democracy that people from minority are leading that counry
(ratan tata (parsi) manmohan singh (sikh) abdul k azad(ex president) khans (film industry) hamid ansari (current vice president) current defence minister (christian)
sonia gandhi and so on.....
and (poor people,sc,bc) like laloo yadav,mayawati are well known politician)
pakistanis sees every thing with the eye of Islam and try to combine everything
with religion.
in world politics religion is the easiest tool to grab power and matures societies
(so called secular countries)kept it away to give power to deserving people
that are more accountable to their people.
I know pakistan have caliber to succeed but they need leaders at each level.
The relative success of India over Pakistan is simply due to larger population. The higher population results in higher volume of transactions, larger quantities of productions, and significantly cheaper labour in the global markets. There is no country in the world that has population of over 250M people and is doing bad in economy in relation to the countries with smaller populations. Of course the GDP will be higher because of more people. The better measurement tool of a countrys success is the standard of living of the population. There are lot f countries which have high GDP because of relatively high volume of transactions but very low standard of living. India has a very poor standard of living. As evident by the poor standard of living of Dalits, who are approx. 250 in India. What matters is the quality not the quantity.
The above statement re the emphasis Indian quantity over quality is further supported by the fact that there is not a single item produced by india that is comparable with the western or chinese products and services in quality.
Hence you are giving too much credit to India. There were no significant strategic investments by India in its own people. As evident by rat eating Dalits, the standard of living in India is pretty low.
