Hopefully Siddiqui sb will also clarify how he calculated Unilever sales to be only 3x when the data shows it is above 70x.

At least for Unilever , you don't need to do any "calculation" because the data for both countries' Unilever subsidiaries is publicly available. https://www.unilever.pk/files/89848914-b6a2-4ca9-8b2f-c5774fba8d70/upfl-financial-results-q3-2022.pdf Unilever Pakistan sales for Sep 2022 quartet...

GDP per capita is defined as total GDP divided by total population, not total GDP/ workforce. Many people are too young or too old to be part of the workforce or choose not to work ( for eg housewives) and even out of those seeking work many are either unemployed or work part time only. So...

Almost no one gets paid the statutory minimum wage, especially in big cities. In Delhi, a full time household maid would get paid about 15k-20k. A personal driver would get paid about 25K. The numbers would be higher in Mumbai.

I don't think India has any interest in signing a no-war declaration with Pakistan. The Indian establishment knows that Pakistan is in no position to wage war against India and India has nothing to gain by signing such a declaration. India's strategy is to isolate Pakistan diplomatically and...

Today Adani shares hit upper circuit. Flagship Adani Enterprises was up 15%, so maybe Gautam Bhai is back in top 30 again.

I think the demonetization angle was just a propoganda talking point, but others measures that have been taken have suppressed militancy to a large extent. Under the previous governments, the national opposition party would not have been able to hold a peaceful and well-attended rally at Lal Chowk.

Three Indian Presidents, including the most popular one z have been Muslims, but it is true that the Indian Muslim community is educationally and economically backward - but much of that has to do with the fact that much of the Muslim elite, with the exception of some Nawabs and large land...

Nvidia has already been blocked from buying ARM, and AMD won't be allowed to either for similar reasons. Softbank is trying to form some sort of an alliance with Samsung, though.

No party is being completely transparent here China says they are offering a plan for a just peace. What they really want is for the fighting to end and their ally Putin to be able to save face and continue to stay in power in Russia without having to support him militarily and risk further...

Good. Pakistan should arrest all its generals and outsource the defence of the country to the TTP. Indian Army would do a better job than the TTP, but Pakistan can't afford it.

How many people in Pakistan are not of Indian descent ?

The Indus Water Treaty, just like the partition of Punjab, was very unfair to the Sikhs. Just like the Sikhs were denied their historical cities of Lahore, Gujranwala and Multan, they were also denied their fair share of the river waters. It is good that the Modi government is taking steps to...

If this is what Jinnah wanted, Pakistan should first give its own areas to Pakistani Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Parsis, Ahmadiyas etc - in accordance with the vision of Mr Jinnah. Many Sunnis also don't like the Shias, so once this division is done, the remaining Pakistan should be split between...

Good. So Pakistan should cede Lahore, Multan, Gujranwala and Peshawar to form a Azad Khalistan just like they have a Azad Kashmir.

How do the authorities figure out by looking at the onion coming from Afghanistan whether it was grown in India or not ? Does the onion ship with a national passport?

In 1947, the Sikhs were a minority even in East Punjab that included present day Haryana and Himachal. Even after the division of East Punjab and the creation of a Punjabi Subah, the Sikh majority is only around 55% or so. In any case, most Sikhs in India are busy going about their lives and...

No thanks. India has enough problems of its own. We don't want to inherit the massive Pakistani debt and the radicalized and mostly poorly educated population. We certainly don't want to be fighting an insurgency in FATA or the Afghan Taliban along the Durand Line.

What is now Israel also once had a majority Muslim population. The Sikhs in India are happy living peacefully in all of India and having an influence on the nation far exceeding their population. If you don't know, the percentage of Sikh population in India is less than that of Canada and...

Where will this referendum be held ? In the historical Sikh capitals of Lahore and Gujranwala?
