my household income is 70000 INR monthly and we belong to a middle class family, U cant comment on some place u have never visited and i am saying that from deepest respect mate

Since i don't reside in Pakistan, therefore can't comment on my fortunes
However, by comparison a very close relatives house hold income is Rs, 115,000 per month, and they don't rate as upper class.
Considering that the basic Porsche in Pakistan is costing $50,000 more than in UK, it's any body's guess.

Apartments and high rise is not a popular culture in Lahore.
Let see if trend changes this time!

Thats true and this is one reason why these residential schemes are so important that offer land owned homes. Concept of flats is not popular anywhere in the country except Karachi and somewhat in Islamabad. We have plenty of land in the country and buying land based homes are expensive but still preference of many over here.

in Pakistan people are rich and govt. is bank rupted in india it is opposite

Quite right but Government is corrupt first and it also becomes the bank-corrupt as a result. We are rich in resources and Pakistan owns 100s of gems to cash with little effort. If we can replace this corrupt leadership with only a bunch of patriotic fellows, we can make wonders within few years time at most.

Thank You for your kind sentiments Stumper, as you can see we are not exactly about to fall apart and on the verge of being taken over by the Taliban.
I have indeed heard and seen pictures of Amby Valley, very exclusive and charming. Has it got it's own airport yet, as i remember there was issue of having to drive through Mumbai to get there.
1: The design and the lay out is based on a French Resort.
2: Kothari also translates into a room retiring/resting place and this is a design replica of Emperor Jehangir's Kothari.

Nationalist, you got it all wrong.

There really are no numbers to indicate something like that but if I had to take an estimate from what i've seen i'd say,

Using the population ratio 1,140,000,000 India and 180 million in Pakistan...

Pakistan would have better standards of living for the average person in the form of sanitation, and wealthy people would be more abundant and easier to find. However a rich person in India would be richer than a wealthy person in Pakistan even though they are harder to find in India.

India, having a large amount of low and middle class workers would have a hard time dealing with the pollution and sanitary issues of the cramped society.
An Indian civilian would have to take a magnifying glass to look through a billion dots representing low class, middle class, and high class people to find a high class person on a map of India.

I hope that cleared it up, i think it was a pretty good explanation. i did my best lol

As per Merrill Lynch and Capegemini Asia - Pacific wealth Report 2009
there were 84,000 HNWI Indians , i.e. 84,000 Millionaires ( The figure in 2008 was 123,000 , India registered the highest drop in millionaires in the region after Hong Kong )
The report available online in pdf , in its 24th page mentions 80 Million middle-class Indian households and only 25 Million of these are in Tier-1 Indian cities . Also , 51 districts in the country have more market potential than the four metros . Thus , Indian middle class seem to be fairly spread over the country .
The Report puts the number of HNWIs in *Other nation's category as 134,000 , the nations include Kazakhstan , Malaysia , Mayanmar , New Zealand , Pakistan , Philippines , Sri Lanka and Vietnam .

Any figure on the exact number of HNWIs in Pakistan will give us a better understanding of the uniform or non-uniform spread of wealth in our countries .

India's greatest disadvantage lies in 72% population living below $2 .

India National Council of Applied Economic Research defines the 'Middle-Class' as those with individual income between $4000-$21000 ($20,000-$120,000 in purchasing power parity terms).


Though , population earning between $5-$10/day are counted in the middle class , taking the size to 200 million and rising . Almost half of sikhs and cristians make into this category . The percentage of muslims in the 200 million strong middle class equals their %age share in the country's population , i.e 13 % .
