There is a saying in India about Pakistani Army- "Never won a war, never lost an election"

" hate india" is not an economic policy you can build a countrys fundaments on

Our economy struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.

As Shashi Tharoor once put it "Even if India were to give Kashmir to Pakistan, the pak army and politicians will give it to India on loan as they don't have any other story to sell their population

When religion and kashmir is more important than food and health

As an Indian, I am in a dilemma whether to pray for better days for Pakistan thinking about the woes of its ordinary people or be satisfied of its continued economic decline since that means lesser money with Pakistan to be able to fund terror against India.

After protesting against European countries for their culture.... Pakistanis now want to illegally enter Europe, why?

Pakistan is so peaceful that even osama bin laden lived peacefully

During ancients times this area was one of the richest but post arraival of desert cult this has gone down deepest.

A country formed in the lines of religion is bound to go in the drain.

It's a shame that they didn't even touch on the problem of terrorism sponsored by Pakistan's army and chose to just show the part where the country itself is the victim of terrorist attacks. Unless Pakistan's citizens realize that the biggest problem they have is the state sponsored terror camps and start protesting against them, they are doomed.

In India the government pays salaries to the army but the army in Pakistan basicaally controls the country's finances.

I think we are too obsessed about the economy crashing. In the right sense, the economy never crashes. It just undergoes cycles, and almost always recovers. So I really don't care what the predictions are. I just want to grow my investment portfolio. I read that people are pulling in massive profits despite the downturn. Any tips on how they do it?

Main reasons for current status of Pakistan:
1. Relogious fanaticism - Curbs innovation and development in Science.
2. Real power with Military industrial complex - Democracy in Peril.
3. Bad relations with neighbours - Curbs trade and exchange of best practices and technology.
4. Unchecked Corruption - Money in the hands of few Military generals and politicians who hoard it in London and elsewhere and lead a lavish life there.
5. Harbouring of Terrorists - Safe haven for terrorists which bite back when the time comes.
6. Lack of accountability - Always blaming others for their misery and problems.

Once pakistans general said that "we will eat grass, but will aquire nukes". Well, this is the perfect symposis of the current situation of pakistan. The words got true, pakistan is really eating grass but tremendously increasing ots military budget. I have nothing to say to this country.
