According to report, total 32.3 percent male while 60.4 percent female aged above 15 years are literate in Pakistan,

But however, on the contrary to aforementioned calculation, there are only 23.1 percent male and 45.5 percent female aged over 15 years enjoy education in India.

This can not be the rates for literacy. Are you seriously trying to say that two times as many females are educated as males?

That too in Pakistan and India?

Not going into comparisons, but literacy levels in both countries are way below what they should be. In India the Right to Education Act was recently brought to the fore to address this need.
Also we need to take such numbers with a pinch of salt. They try to calculate using formal system of education, but both countries have a parallel system of education (madrassas, ashrams, vocational trainings etc) which frankly should also count in literacy but aren't.
