Pakistan is 76 position which is shameful but I hope it will steadily improve. Not only the numbers but also the quality.
 
India is at 80 , what a shame

It is not a shame, this is a vauge ranking. We have to look on the Quality of Research and ist Impact on the economy and Society of the respected Country. For example Pakistan has more patents per Capita thn India still the reasearch Quality of Indian patents is very high.

Still we need to do more , we suffer from massive brain drain in India that needs to stop , probably same situation with Pak as well

I dont know when People say About brain drain, I have many Friends in india and pak who are Looking for Jobs and they are extremely talented. When we dont have enough Jobs how can we say there is a brain drain?

That is exactly the case , lack of opportunities force brilliant students to go outside to seek it.

That's not true... who told you Indian research quality is very high? Can you backup your claims with any credible source?

I have worked with them in R&D Department of many Multinationals, I know the calibar of Pakistanies vs Indians. Despite having some very bright minds majority of Pakistani students are less career oriented as compared to Indians. Same is the case in professional life.

Well my experience is totally opposite. SO it your experience vs mine. Where is the objective metric ?

In my opinion real difference is Southindia. South Indians are way more professional and hard working as compared to North Indians or Pakistanies. I think they are actually driving india Forward in R&D
 
This should improve. There is only little government can do, people's mindset needs to change. Don't push kids into getting some government jobs and settle for mediocre careers.

Indian research quality is very high?
Not sure about that, but rather you can look at the number of USPTO put up by both.

It's still bad for both.

A country with exemplary research output is a considered an exemplary destination for international education as well.
