    Pakistan, Bharat, British India - What came first, what came after?

    The OP claims others are confusing modern geography with ancient history and civilization while he himself is a victim of the same. The following point is very pertinent: The geography of (Western) Pakistan was a mere happenstance, it was just the areas of Northwest corner of India that...

    Pakistani kingdoms in mythical Mahabharat epic

    The highlighted part is not true. The reason so many Muslim converts in Pakistan claim to be of foreign origin in because it is supposed to give them a higher status is society. Caste and Ashraf/Ajlaf/Arjal issues are very much a reality of Pakistan. https :// reddiarypk.wordpress.co*...

    Actually most of them. Musharraf claims to be a Syed in his book. Sharif would be another Syed. Your Ex-PM Gilani is supposedly of Persian origin, Zia was Arain and supposed Arab origin.

    I think what is meant is that less than 1% pay direct taxes (income tax for individuals). Every citizen pays the indirect taxes when he purchases/consumes any good or service in the country. This probably is a bigger tax for most people than the income tax they end up paying (or not paying).

    Pakistan $1 Trillion Economy

    It's an interesting point. Indian car sales per annum are more than 10 times that of Pakistan. Just Delhi sells twice the number of cars than the whole of Pakistan. India sold more than 1.8 million cars in 2014 (it has been flat since 2010 for various reasons, before that it was growing fast...
