What does it matter?
How exactly are you interpreting 'India respect Pakistan' or for that matter 'Pakistan respect India as a big brother'?
It does matter. One is treated as an equal only if one matches with the other in more than one criteria. Unless Pakistan can match India economically, industrially, militarily, or even in the field of scientific pursuits there is no question of being equal. Oh yeah, include Cricket too. All that talk of all people are equal is practically hogwash.
Now seriously, how do you equate Pakistan with India? I am not trying to demean anyone here, but
One cannot demand respect, one has gotta earn it! You for one should know this. With all due respect, in all its spectacular brouhaha, what has Pakistan achieved that India would give it her respect? On what basis do you so much as demand 'respect' on an equal footing? What is equal here, apart form being wrenched into two different entities from a single one to satisfy the egoistical whims of some politicians.
Consider this. Indians as a rabble rousing, arguing, squabbling, collective, stumbling people over the years have charted out a course which is earning us rich dividends. The world has begun to acknowledge India as a force to be reckoned with, compared to the humble beginnings of a toothless NAM movement. Now compare that with the strong US support that a basically homogeneous Pakistan (well, only if religiously) received when India went NAM. Oh those were the heady days, werent they?
What went wrong here? Pakistan had the support of the most powerful nation on Earth, interfered in Afghanistan when SU invaded and received US support to do so. You had both US's and China's support during times of our conflicts. You had a dream run, home run was within your grasp, and yet managed to squabble all the goodwill in such a short time. And you blame the rest of the world for your shortcomings. That, my friend is one major difference. Compare that with India, did we blame the US/Israel for our ills during the tough times we've had? Did we pout and sulk? No, we got our act together.
Now seriously how would anyone bring oneself to respect a people who cannot introspect and keep demanding respect only because they've got a UNSC member as BFF and a big Boom in their pockets (which for all practical purposes is made from stolen knowledge). Dont get me wrong here, but we are the very same people (unless you too believe that Pakistanis are of a superior race), set out on our paths at the same time (you've had a 24hr headstart), but charted out different paths due to our mindsets, and see where each of us stands today. Its really past time you ask yourselves some serious questions.
The bottom line AM, is, one has to earn respect, not demand it, be it from your friends, family or complete strangers.
