50% of urban Pakistan lives in slums and exist in absolute poverty - no idea why he was surprised by the divide.

This happens when people start throwing stones @ others, while themselves sitting in glass houses...
good thing should be appreciated, but i guess majority lack this attitude...

I don't have an issue if this gives Indians some moral boosting since I visited dehli airport few years ago and I find it different if the improvement took place that is a good thing.

However India which is one of the some biggest slum dwellers countries, if Indians come up with taunts about Pakistan its funny that they don't see Indian slums that too much higher than Pakistan.

And indian poverty we all know about it

Better than yours...

Its a pity to see two countries Iraq and Zimbabwe actually increasing their slum population, a bad state of affairs from two fairly prosperous countries in the past.

On the topic; I find Delhi pretty and (in my opinion) a bit provincial with its own charm. In a way I would compare it to Lahore but that's just my opinion. I met some of the friendliest people in both cities hence the personal comparison

Dharavi is the biggest slum... if i'm not wrong...
