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.
Another Genius post. You are truly what I call a "Padha-Likha Gawar". Based on one YouTube video you found during your obsessive behavior- you started a baseless self fellatio thread about economics.
Like how you compare Islamabad to Chandigarh. LOLChandigarh is like Islamabad, new planned capitals. You can do that comparison if you want. I asked Pakistani Punjabi members to compare their part with Indian Punjab. I am sure we have members from cities like Sialkot or Gujranawala which are in Pakistani Punjab not too distant from Amritsar and of similar size. I can certainly tell you we do not have man articulated rickshaw taxis in Pakistan.
Yes it does. But a quick history lesson for you. At nearly 5,000 years there was no India, there was no Hinduism, no Christianity or Islam or Judaism at that point in time. It is even before the vedas.
Islamabad - twin of Chandigarh. Planned new capital city.
Also would love to hear your anguish filled thoughts about Mumbai vs Karachi.
