Misery Index: Who's Less Miserable? India or Pakistan?

[Maula Jatt]

This misery idex means nothing and is rubbish. It's just a feel good index highlighted by the OP because his nation Pakistan fares better than India in this rubbish index.
This index belongs with other rubbish indexes like most happy, most content, most self sufficient etc etc.

Oxymoronic
I said Bangladesh does better in these indicators - you said they're secular this and that - bla bla bla
I am like alright cool

Than I said by that same metrics you choose India should also be great in these indicators

Now you're saying these indicators mean nothing

Were you right before or are right now?

Btw I am not taking a position if they're good or bad- but you're when it suits and when it doesn't it means nothing

In every matrices that matter, India is far ahead of Bangladesh or Pakistan or any other other south asian Minnow nations.

...and India 39th (35.8) most miserable for year 2020. Bangladesh is significantly better than both India and Pakistan with a misery index of 14 and rank of 129.

Where are the rats @SMX 3.0 and @Sudarshan hiding? We've been saying this for years, now the world is catching up to it.
No sympathies for you MISERABLE rats though.

No secularism- Pakistan is a muslim country. No need for anything secular. Period
Extremism- Agree.
Mullahism- Agree
Caste system- It is a problem, but not as big as in India.
Feudalism- Huge problem. Something needs to be done.
Lack of freedom- Explain?
Very few alchohol brands- No alcohol in a muslim country. Should be banned.
No dance bars- Are you serious? I dont know where in Pakistan you live, but there are nightclubs in Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi.

We should not be comparing ourselves to the perpetually miserable, deluded Indians. Our standards should be set higher.

Homelessness, poverty, hunger, minimum wage, living standards of most of the population, people, people, people everywhere? Entire cities in disgusting smells, foul breeds of animals running around, or the general level of cleanliness in those overcrowded cities? - keep making babies- even most of European countries are minnows compared to India

If that makes you happy- than keep at it
We are with you!

And no you were truly exposed - these indicators matter when you feel like it and suits the argument
They don't when you don't feel like it

Intellectual bankruptcy and dishonesty

 

[Azadkashmir]

Thats why I said, in every per capita consumption we’re ahead of pakistan. It’s only textiles production where in per capita production Pakistan is ahead of India.

quality over quantity. Pakistanis are happier.

Best way to show Pakistan > India, indexes like GHI calculated without physical sampling but by gallup polls, or things like global happiness Index, I can see Pakistan saying their GDP is twice as big, then consumption should be accordingly, why not compare on things like global innovation index, or economic complexity index?

Consumption data only says otherwise.

Comeon... You know about ego satisfaction

What is Pakistan's Real GDP?

Many economists believe that Pakistan’s economy is at least double the size that is officially reported in government's Economic Surveys. The GDP has not been rebased in more than a decade. It was last rebased in 2005-6 while India’s was rebased in 2011 and Bangladesh’s in 2013. Just rebasing the Pakistani economy will result in at least 50% increase in official GDP. A research paper by economists Ali Kemal and Ahmad Wasim of PIDE (Pakistan Institute of Development Economics) estimated in 2012 that the Pakistani economy’s size then was around $400 billion. All they did was look at the consumption data to reach their conclusion. They used the data reported in regular PSLM (Pakistan Social and Living Standard Measurements) surveys on actual living standards. They found that a huge chunk of the country's economy is undocumented.

Pakistan's service sector which contributes more than 50% of the country's GDP is mostly cash-based and least documented. There is a lot of currency in circulation. According to the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), the currency in circulation has increased to Rs. 7.4 trillion by the end of the financial year 2020-21, up from Rs 6.7 trillion in the last financial year, a double-digit growth of 10.4% year-on-year. Currency in circulation (CIC), as percent of M2 money supply and currency-to-deposit ratio, has been increasing over the last few years. The CIC/M2 ratio is now close to 30%. The average CIC/M2 ratio in FY18-21 was measured at 28%, up from 22% in FY10-15. This 1.2 trillion rupee increase could have generated undocumented GDP of Rs 3.1 trillion at the historic velocity of 2.6, according to a report in The Business Recorder. In comparison to Bangladesh (CIC/M2 at 13%), Pakistan’s cash economy is double the size. Even a casual observer can see that the living standards in Pakistan are higher than those in Bangladesh and India.

So by your definition, any index shows Modi's India's weaknesses is "rubbish"....including world happiness index, global hunger index, food affordability index, India's declining labor force participation rates, India's low minimum wage, etc etc.

I suggest you listen to Aakar Patel and read his book to get a sense how far India has declined under Modi:
