Please do not take me as a fun spoiler. May moderators forgive me for this.
But if you actually see, there is nothing achieved except very few things by India as well as Pakistan!
Here I remember a joke -
A son asks his father "what is the difference between potentially and actually?"
In reply, father tells him to follow. They go to child's mother. Father asks her "will you sleep with Brad Pitt for $ 1B?". Mother replies affirmative.
Then they go to child's sister. Father asks her "will you sleep with Tom Cruise for $ 1B?". She says yes.
Then father asks to the child itself "will you sleep with David Backham for $ 1B?". Child is a soccer fan. So, he agrees.
Now, father says, "Son, potentially - we are sitting on $ 3B, but actually - we are living with two wh*res and a g*y!!"
HERE COMES WHY -
We have natural resources, but we give them on lease to foreign companies.
We are earning from IT, but the technology is foreign.
We are still using education system set by British (only to produce clerks) and feel proud for our excellence in that.
Again, our best students plan to settle in US or UK and we are proud. We are proud of our children talent, and they are proud of getting job in USA.
We are only better in numbers and that too because of huge sizes and population densities. Just compare in ratio, you will get reality.
Number of NASA techies are from Indian subcontinent, and what we have here? ISRO is still a kid in space industry and I do not know if any Pakistani space program even exists! (Pakistani members forgive me.)
We sell all types of resources and buy weapons to fight with each other.
We have mobile phones, but they are hardly more then a time-pass.
We have high-tech media, but they are idiots who control it.
and the list goes on......
