Shameful. And we are busy fighting for trivial issues.

I'd give you positive ratings if I had the ability to. I hope your countrymen are reading these posts too. At this point in time, it is the soup-o-powa craze that's making the nationalist Hindu ruling party spend hundreds of billions of dollars on weapons. Then, forcing Pakistan to maintain parity with India, while a quarter billion people don't eat properly and just in India, over half a billion people don't even have proper beds to sleep on. That's actually really sad. I wonder why your countrymen never get involved with these real issues, but they'd love to show grandiosity and military macho-ness all day long!

We have a very specific kind of Indians who come on a pakistan-centric defense forum.

But then look at other side of the borders, they call Indians poor and malnourished, but the truth is they are equally bad or even worse.

Depends on what you define as hungry and malnourished.

For example, for India, anyone who earns more than $1.25 a day is apparently "middle class". In other countries this is different as they aren't as shameful as Indians in hiding their poverty.

Around 2/3 of Indian kids are stunted in growth due to terrible conditions in India... How about that

These figures are captured on standard definition set by UN.

We should ponder the issue than trying to figure out a loop hole in findings.

22% Pakistanis malnourished?
the reason may be the price of food not availability.

no these are mainly provided by Indian government as they don't allow such extensive surveys.

 

[KingWest]

Ofcourse some Pakistanis are hungry, its ramadan..

 

[PoKeMon]

no these are mainly provided by Indian government as they don't allow such extensive surveys.

44% of Indians are malnourished if that makes you feel happy.

Read up your own numbers.....44 million Pakistanis and 140 million Indians.....do you not see that India has 5 times the poorest of the poorest population????

The "other" side doesn't make this point to piss anyone off, what they are saying is, India needs to let go of the dream of soup-o-powa, its a pipe dream and its not real. Not when 140 million people can't eat properly and half a billion people don't have a proper bed. So the point the other side is MAKING is that let's not create a War like Environment and a Weapons Race. This billions can be served to feed people and grow poor of both nations.

Whether its the nuke tests or buying more jets or building missiles, Pakistan has always followed developments in India, to maintain a credible deterrence as they are both obsessed with each other and have been THE arch rivals.

Its Ramadan paaji

Lies!, when did middle class be equated to monetary earnings by Indian Govt.

Around 2/3 of Indian kids are stunted in growth due to terrible conditions in India... How about that

Since when did 39% become 2/3?

 

[COLDHEARTED AVIATOR]

Instead of bloody looking at their own house people here think that they are far well off than India and are maybe part of European Union standards of poverty.

No.

44 * 5 != 140.

India needs to let go of the dream of soup-o-powa, its a pipe dream and its not real.

When did India ever mention dream of "soup-o-powa"?

Not when 140 million people can't eat properly and half a billion people don't have a proper bed.

The problem is savage filth elements from Western border wishes to exterminate these "140 million people can't eat properly and half a billion people don't have a proper bed. " just because they belong to another faith. Hence keeping the spear's sharp comes in handy.

 

[Jaanbaz]

Well Pakistan will go bust trying to catch up to India in terms of military, expect the figures of malnourished poor souls to go up, as long as we can shout Pakistan Zindabad, nuclear power zindabad we are good to go.

 

[Bobby]

data clearly suggests india is poor...pakistan is rich

 

[Lord ZeN]

Its Ramadan paaji

Ofcourse some Pakistanis are hungry, its ramadan..

Are you trying to say that 22% of Pakistanis are malnourished due to Ramadan.
.

Whether its the nuke tests or buying more jets or building missiles, Pakistan has always followed developments in India, to maintain a credible deterrence as they are both obsessed with each other and have been THE arch rivals.

They .. Aren't you a Pakistani living in United States ? And we don't consider your country as an arch rival but as a security threat. And yes 15% of our population are also malnourished and it's indeed a shame for every Indian in general and Congress + it's allies in particular as they were responsible for this sorry state of my country. But that does not mean that we Indians shouldn't take care of our own security and counter threat emanating from our neighborhood. As for our nukes it was mainly developed for maintaining a credible deterrence against China who were already a nuclear power by that time.

Read up your own numbers.....44 million Pakistanis and 140 million Indians.....do you not see that India has 5 times the poorest of the poorest population????

Really 140/44 = 3.18
