Trillion Dolla India versus Failed Pakistan

[Indus Pakistan]

So everyday we are reminded that India is -

• Trillion dolla economy
• 5th largest economy
• Mumbai has bigger GDP apparently then all of Pakistan
• that India is roaring while Pakistan is failing
• that India is drowning in success and Pakistan is wallowing in failure

So let's look beyond the numbers and boasting. Indian Punjab is adjacent to Pakistani Punjab and is one of India's more prosperous states. Many Sikhs from this state live abroad in USA or UK or Canada. Amritsar in Indian Punjab is only about 20 miles from Lahore in Pakistani Punjab. Both cities are Punjabi speaking with shared history but a international border running in the middle. It is important to note that Sikhs of Amritsar, Indian Punjab are considered as a wealthy community relative to rest of India.

So I thought it would be interesting to see what Amritsar in trillion dolla India looks like. Are the streets lined in gold? Is it land of milk and honey? What is it like across the border? I would ask Pakistani's who live in Lahore or the adjoining Pakistan Punjab to look at this and contribute by comparing Pakistan Punjab with trillion Dolla Indian Punjab. For a lay observor what caught my eye besides the filth was the number of man powered rickshaws. I have never seen rickshaw pullers in Pakistan. Indeed I think it is against the law since 1952. But in one of India's most prosperous states man powered rickshaws are everywhere which raises the question of how cheap Indian labour is in that it can compete against motor rickshaws. So here is how the trillion dolla India looks just across the border of failed Pakistan.

The Sikh women interestingly almost wear the same Shalwar Kameez as in Pakistan which is not a surprise.

so many people with man-powered rikshaw/cycles. That's just slavery...

lol. What is surprising is that Amritsar is in one of India's more prosperous areas.

It's safe to assume that all humans are similiar in their preferances. Meaning non of us wake up in the morning and wish to get a job which entails effectively being used as a animal. Doing what a donkey, mule or horse or a engine might do in other countries. The fact that so many Indians in Amritsar are pulling or pedalling rickshaws as taxis must tell us something. I know this is non existent in Pakistan. Make your own conclusions about the trillion dolla economy. This is the India beyond the numbers and dazzle. The real India. And it's only can be seen only ten miles across the international border. Yes, just ten miles across the border you have men being used as beasts in the success that is India.

Brother read! The writer's assessment is sound. Indias trillion dollar economy does not reflect what's evident in their cities.
The "Kunt" are Indians, focus your attention towards them, their the enemy, not the OP.

Indian Punjab and Sikhs are generally regarded as the more prosperous Indians. If you go deeper into India or to eastern parts of India poverty increases. States like Bihar, Odisha or Jharkand are afflicted by poverty - even Indians will tell you that. But if this is what the more prosperous Indian Punjab looks like with Sikhs pulling or peddling rickshaw taxis like slaves you can imagine what poorer parts of trillion dolla India must look like.

And as you know in failed Pakistan such practices are unknown. You will not see a man pulled rickshaw in Pakistan. It is illegal, banned since 1959 and regarded as insult to human dignity.

Amritsar could use some of Lahore's Amritsari Hareesa. So many malnourished's walking about...

I reiterate again. Indian Punjab and Sikhs are regarded as prosperous in India. You want to see poverty in India then flip over to eastern parts of India. If this is what prosperous looks like you can imagine what their poverty must look like. This exposes the numbers you hear every day that are peddled by Indians.

These indian cities were much better when Muslim ruled india under mughal rule and most of development such as roads like gt road were made at that time and also one of the greatest buildings like taj mahal but after this the higher class hindus are exploiting rights of minorities

I thought you made some meanigful comparisons in terms of economy etc.
But there you have a photo of rickshaw puller or a video of random guy walking through narrow streets of older residenttial area and a final judgement.
lol@thinktank

 

[Yaseen1]

I know what the TT did there.
Should have compared with Chandigarh and your head would have stumbled.
Anyways, if you're comparing with Amritsar then it is a holy city for the sikhs not known for trade or being prosperous. Punjab economy as a whole needs reform (traditionally survived on agriculutre) as it is its the southern part of India which is contributing to the success that India is today.
Have a great day!


Pakistan was much more prosperous when hindu rulers ruled there. Does Indus valley and harappan civilization ring a bell?

Hinfdus are ruling india today but result is very bad and people are living in poverty and worst than animals
