Does Pakistan have poverty? Yes it does. Does poverty make a country a failed state? If you answer is yes, then do you have a similar report for India, the country of origin of TV Paul? Let me give share with you a World Bank CDG report that just came out: Haq's Musings: World Bank Reports...

My assessment is based on real credible data that refutes the basic thrust and assertions of TV Paul. It's far more balanced in recognizing real problems that Pakistan has (every nation has problems) while exposing Paul's falsehoods. As to the talk of the 65 years, I suggest Paul (and you) look...

The graphs I shared with you are from The World Bank and they show current nominal US$. So there should be no confusion. If you look at the graphs carefully, you'll find the slope much steeper for Pakistan in 2000-2008.

Agriculture accounts for 20% of Pak GDP but it employs 40% of the population in the rural areas. Strong agriculture with high value addition is important in reducing rural poverty which accounts for most of the poor in South Asia. Your contention that BD economy has been better than Pakistan...

It's simple. Higher productivity translates into higher wages...basic principle that governs economics of labor. If a Pakistan farm worker produces twice as much as its Bangladeshi or Indian counterpart, he or she earns twice as much. Haq's Musings: India's Agrarian Crisis: A Farmer Commits...
