See, this is the sort of rhetorical nonsense that robs you of all credibility. You think India has a better terror record than Pakistan? Or that people in India are a lot safer?
Over a sustained period of time, India has been worst affected by terrorism, save Iraq. Yes, India is #2 on the list right after Iraq. Take a look at this TOI report which uses data from the US National Counter Terrorism Center. Please come forth and either deny these figures or accept the reality.
India loses maximum lives to terror except Iraq - India - The Times of India
Now, the let me do a comparison that is extremely unfair to Pakistan. The worst comparison I can think of... let's take the worst year Pakistan has ever had in terms of terrorism, 2009.
How many Pakistanis were killed in 2009 - the absolute worst year for Pakistan in the WoT?
3,300.
DAWN.COM | National | Terror incidents claimed 3,300 lives this year
How many Indians have been killed in terrorism related incidents in 2008, the last year for which I could find complete data?
2,577
Government releases number of civilian, SFs, terrorists, naxalites killed in 2009
And while I am using the WORST year ever for Pakistan as comparison, 2008 is clearly not the worst year for India (Gujrat riots, anyone?).
So please, spare us the crap. You can spout nonsense to someone who doesn't know the subcontinent and try and make Pakistan out to be "Ooooo so dangerous" but good luck trying to pull that stunt here.
Please also note that acts of violence in J&K have subsided year over year since the past many years. The 2008 numbers for India are significantly lower because of this positive trend also. May I remind you that when relations between Pakistan and India worsen, one of the immediate fallouts is in Kashmir where violent participants (on both sides) are emboldened and empowered.
While the world has acknowledged that the actions of the Pakistan Army through late 2009 and early 2010 have broken the back of the TTP in Pakistan, the same cannot at all be said about the rising Naxalite violence in India.
And if you are trying to make the point that Pakistan redirecting 30% of budget monies towards the security initative is some sort of failure, perhaps you need to read the news without blinders. We are able to redirect these funds because far more than the redirected amount has been won by our Foreign Office in friendly assistance. China, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, UAE, USA, UK, France, Japan and many others have invested in development projects in Pakistan and assisted with IDPs and other victims. The internal budgetary reallocation doesn't mean that less money will be spent on development. Pakistan is running larger projects now - over the past 5-6 years - than at any other time in its history. The 1.5B Khalifa refinery with the UAE, Bhasha Dam, $20B Rail project with Iran/Turkey, Gwadar port and continued expansion of Gwadar city with China/UAE, new city outside Islamabad with UAE, significant expansion of Lahore with UAE/Malaysia, various motorways with Turkey/China, alternate power generation (wind and other) with Turkey and the list goes on and on.
I look forward to your response and why you think India is so much safer. Based on fact, not hearsay, propaganda and rhetorical garbage.
