I agree. I have big hopes on CPEC. There is interesting similarities between CPEC and Pak/USA of 1960s. However there are differances -As I've said China is the new USA, and this time the relationship will be more strategic than transactional and long lasting too.
CPEC is to Pakistan now what was Mangla, Tarbela and some other help Pakistan got from USA, just got bigger this time, so Pakistan is playing it smartly...yes need a sea change in top leadership.
If train engine is pulling a wagon and you uncouple the chain the wagon will continue rolling along for some time because of latent kinetic energy. Americans began backing off after 1965 but the boost continued for few more years.The economy after the 1965 war under Ayub Khan was still actually doing really good. Overall, the average growth rate under Ayub Khan was around 7%.
Great thread Kedi., your a solid intellect here. I see your thread is more comprehensive and came out earlier than mine. Great read though.
It's the people that make the country. The problem with Pakistan is we ae too divided, too fractured, have no single vision, a fragile definition of what even Pakistan is and this makes governming this mass of fractious people almost a impossible task. To rule it you have to avoid so many eggshells that nothing of substance can be done.Pakistan has potential to become another Turkey, but for that it need to curb the high population growth.Otherwise high GDP growth will be eaten away by high population growth.Bangladesh and India is about to reach the replacement fertility rate,but Pakistan has still more than 3 children per woman and population is growing by 2 percent per year.By this rate population will double in 35 years.Than all the development plan will not bear fruit as much.If Pakistan want quality than it need to curb the quantity.I think, Pakistan already has sufficient quantity, now focus should be solely on quality.
You open such threads that require future predictions , I'm sorry I cannot answer this unless I'm a najoomi .
But I want all these three countries to become developed and stabilised.
Sir Problem with Pakistan only Exists because of the Class system ,Here nobody cares about religion and the Lowest Income families below the Middle lower class are the ones making all the problem.It's the people that make the country.

I voted for Bangladesh not because I like the people or the place. I did so because I think they have the recipe for success right. and already it is showing. Use 1975 as a marker. Compare the three countries then and now. Who has progressed the most? When Bangla success stories began to arrive on my horizon about 5 years ago I simpy ignored them because of my latent prejudice. But as time moved forward Bangla kept 'pinging' on my radar and mostly for positive reasons. Eventually these 'pings' become so frequent and so aggregated that I began to change my view on the country. Finally I had to accept that Bangladesh has seen a miracle to go from famine to where it is today - all with limited resources.
I know. People are the problem. The majority. A society is defined by the majority. And the lower income familes are Pakistan because they make 75% of it or perhaps 125 million.Problem with Pakistan only Exists because of the Class system ,Here nobody cares about religion and the Lowest Income families below the Middle lower class are the ones making all the problem.
Which earlier id ??
You are asking about developed nation ?. This region is heading for a war.
Open trade with India would destroy Pakistani economy. On the other hand it would cause a boom in India.develop as easily without laying the foundations for mutually beneficial relations, including trade.
There is zero chance of major war between Pak/India. Minor or limited engagements is about it. Nukes effectively muzzled both countries.Exactly ....
One thing is quite certain, though: none of them will develop as easily without laying the foundations for mutually beneficial relations, including trade.
I don't think you know your history. Do you have any idea what happened in 1947? We broke something that British had gifted us. Unity.That's my point Ali haider . If the European countries can combine together and form a developed safe Europe , if the Arabs can be together and create a rich middle east so why can't we south Asians form unity and dedicate our attention to the development of this region and form it as exemplary to other world .
