Even from the numbers that you have quoted, it is clear which country is making more progress. Pakistan may have india beat by a couple of percentage points, BUT if you see the the trend from over the last 2 decades - pakistan has lowered the percentage of hungry people by 5 percentage points (25.7 in 1990 vs 20.7 in 2011) - meanwhile india has brought down the percentage of hungry people by nearly 7 percentage points (30.4 in 1990 vs 23.7 in 2011).

On the other hand, a look at the database of WHO and FAO reveals, that undernourishment or hunger is higher in pakistan, than india.

Clearly, despite all the handicaps that you have so carefully articulated, India is still doing better.

On the other hand, a look at the database of WHO and FAO reveals, that undernourishment or hunger is higher in pakistan, than india.

Every year, World Health Organization reports what it calls "Environmental Burden of Disease" in each country of the world in terms of disability adjusted life years (DALYs) per 1000 people and total number of deaths from diseases ranging from diarrhea and other infectious diseases to heart disease, road traffic injuries and different forms of cancer.

In the range of DALYs/1000 capita from 13 (lowest) to 289 (highest), WHO's latest data indicates that India is at 65 while Pakistan is slightly better at 58. In terms of total number of deaths per year from disease, India stands at 2.7 million deaths while Pakistani death toll is 318, 400 people. Among other South Asian nations, Afghanistan's DALYs/1000 is 255, Bangladesh 64 and Sri Lanka 61. By contrast, the DALYs/1000 figures are 14 for Singapore and 32 for China.

Looking at the situation in South Asia, it appears from the WHO data that Pakistan is doing a bit better than India in 12 out of 14 disease groups ranging from diarrhea to heart disease to intentional injuries, and it is equal for the remaining two (Malaria and Asthma).

Recent research shows that there are potentially far reaching negative consequences for nations carrying high levels of disease burdens causing lower average intelligence among their current and future generations.

12580 Pakistanis were murdered in Pakistan, and I am sure the figure must have worsened since then. With a population 1/6th the size of India, surely that makes Pakistan the murder capital of the world! So congrats for that, make a blog entry about that eh?

No other country in the world matches India's 40,752+ murders...plus here means at least that many and could be a lot more. Because of endemic corruption murders are significantly under-reported by the police in India.

And Pakistani LEAs are the worlds best and therefore no murder goes unreported in that country

No other country in the world matches India's 40,752+ murders (per UN ODC)...plus here means at least that many and could be a lot more. Because of endemic corruption murders are significantly under-reported by the police in India.
