old article and now useless because pakistan in recent times has declined down dramatically and india has only got proserous and grown faster..the 7 pc growth rate of pakistan is no where...its 1.5 pc now..poverty has increased in pakistan due to poor econmic output in recent years..then drone attacks,terrorism etc.etc. We dont pay bribes to west to regard us as a future power and pakistan as a failed state....there is a huge reason behind it..well they dont need tpo regard pak as a failed state bcuz in reality it is in the list of top10 failed states...

Better roads n infra pakistan has? maybe 5 years ago but not now..

I don't know why some Indian members are wasting their time by posting photographs of roads and airports.The article is old and does not present the true picture.The new airports that have been coming up are one of the finest in the world.If you visit aviation forums you will find many foreigners going gaga over the new Indian airports.I have spend my entire life abroad and visited quite a few extremely good terminals and i can say confidently that the new airports in India are second to none.yes India still has a large population living below the poverty line but i am sure with good growth rates and good policies India will be able to eradicate poverty.

As of 2009, Pakistan's Human Development Index (HDI) is 0.572, higher than that of nearby Bangladesh's 0.543, which was formerly a part of the country itself. Pakistan's HDI still stands lower than that of neighbouring India's at 0.612
according to the Human Development Index (HDI), 60.3% of Pakistan's population lives on under $2 a day, compared to 75.6% in nearby India and 81.3% in nearby Bangladesh, and some 22.6% live under $1 a day, compared to 41.6% in India and 49.6% in Bangladesh

[modern_newton]

according to wikipedia

Poverty is widespread in India, with the nation estimated to have a third of the world's poor. According to a 2005 World Bank estimate, 41.6% of the total Indian population falls below the international poverty line of US$ 1.25 a day

The Planning Commission of India has accepted the Tendulkar Committee report which says that 37% of people in India live below the poverty line.
The Arjun Sengupta Report (from National Commission for Enterprises in the Unorganised Sector) states that 77% of Indians live on less than 20 a day (about $0.50 per day)[5], also N.C. Saxena Committee report states that 50% of Indians live below the poverty line.

A study by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative using a Multi-dimensional Poverty Index (MPI) found that there were 645 million[6] poor living under the MPI in India, 421 million of whom are concentrated in eight North Indian and East Indian states of Bihar, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. This number is higher than the 410 million poor living in the 26 poorest African nations. The World Bank estimates that 80% of India's population lives on less than $2 a day[9][10] which means a higher proportion of its population lives on less than $2 per day as compared with sub-Saharan Africa.
